For this recipe, you can choose to buy whole chicken or one that has already been cut into pieces.
If you purchase a whole chicken, you will need to cut it into 8 pieces yourself.
Place a large pan on the stovetop and add a little oil.
When the oil is hot, brown the chicken pieces on all sides.
Once brown, remove then pan from the heat and transfer the chicken to a oven-safe skillet. Place the meat in a 350Ā°F oven for 20 minutes.
