After at least 12 hours, pass the chicken through a colander and save the wine in a bowl. Separate the chicken from the vegetables and keep in a colander to drain any excess moisture, allow to dry for an hour then pat dry with kitchen paper.

Heat some oil in a cast iron pan over a high heat, add the chicken pieces in stages and brown for 5-7 minutes per side, ensuring the skin is thoroughly browned. If any fond remains after browning, deglaze with wine and add the fond to the leftover wine. Reduce the leftover wine further until thickened.
