Steps
Cut the chicken into pieces, singe the parts with remaining feathers and wash under running water. In a pan, put the extra virgin oil, chopped flavors, the bunch tied with a string made of rosemary and sage, and the unpeeled garlic clove. As soon as they start to sizzle, add the chicken pieces skin side down, let them brown on all sides over moderate heat for 5 minutes and add the olives.
Moisten with white wine and let it evaporate. Pour the tomato purée, dilute it with 1-2 ladles of hot water, and salt. Continue cooking for 45 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally. Serve the hunter-style chicken in a serving pan pouring the sauce over it, and prepare bread to mop up the sauce.
