Canary Island Style Pollo En Adobo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 whole broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
3 -4 garlic cloves (I use more)
1 teaspoon paprika (I prefer choricero or smokey)
1/2 teaspoon oregano (or more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon thyme (to taste)
sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil (about)
2 -3 tablespoons white wine (or a splash of red wine vinegar)
pepper (optional)
oil (for frying)

Preparation

Using a mortar and pestle, mash garlic and salt, then add paprika, oregano, thyme, pepper, if using and olive oil.
Add wine and combine well.
Coat chicken with marinade, and refrigerate several hours.
Heat oil over medium heat in a skillet.
Fry chicken pieces until cooked through-about 20 minutes, lowering heat to medium low after chicken initially sears.
This can be made with boneless, skinless breasts--just reduce cooking time accordingly.
This can also be made on the grill-the flavor will be even better!
