Garlic Chicken Pollo Al Ajillo

---

This is a great recipe that can be used as a hot appetizer (tapa) or can be served as a main dish. It has been adapted for north american/northern european taste from the tapas cookbook". I often serve it at gatherings where i invite my european and spanish friends for "wine and tapas". Nobody ever leaves hungry with the assortment of tapas provided. Keep checking back to my recipes as i will continually add tapa recipes in the future. A "wine and tapa" party is an excellent idea for the holiday season. The recipe can be made in advance and reheated in the microwave."
