Ingredients
    1/4 cup flour
    salt, to taste
    pepper, to taste
    1 tablespoon paprika
    1 (2 1/2-3 lb) roasting chickens, quartered (about 2.5-3 lbs.)
    3 tablespoons olive oil
    2 onions, chopped
    3 garlic cloves, crushed
    15 ounces diced tomatoes
    1 green bell pepper
    2 (8 ounce) jars pimientos
    2/3 cup red wine (recommend Rioja)
    1 1/2 cups chicken stock
    3 potatoes, peeled and quartered
    12 olives, pitted (black or green)
    1 bay leaf
Preparation
    Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large, resealable plastic bag.
    Wash and pat dry the chicken, then place in bag and shake to coat in flour.
    Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the chicken and cook over medium-high heat for about 8 minutes turning once. Remove from the pan and set aside.
    Add the onion and garlic and cook until lightly browned. Add the tomatoes and bell pepper and cook an additional 3-5 minutes.
    Place the chicken and vegetables in a large casserole dish. Add the wine, stock, potatoes, olives, and bay leaf. Cover and bake at 375 for one hour or until chicken is tender.
    Remove from oven, check seasoning, and stir in the jarred pimientos. If desired, hot sauce, sherry vinegar, and additional paprika may be added before serving.
