01
Step 1
Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them gently until the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take about five minutes. Scoop the onion and garlic out into a bowl and set aside.

Step 2
Next, add the rest of the olive oil to the pot and heat it up again. Toss in the chicken and cook it, turning occasionally, until it’s nicely browned on all sides—this usually takes around five minutes. Pour in the wine and bring everything to a simmer. Let it cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside, about 15 minutes.

Step 3
Now, stir in the onion and garlic mixture, tomato sauce, a good pinch of black pepper, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and a little cinnamon. Bring it all back to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently. Cook it until the chicken is so tender it easily falls apart, which should take about an hour.
