Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200˚C, fan 180˚C. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the chicken to brown the skin. Cook each side for about 2 mins until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, fry the onion, celery and garlic for 5 mins until just softened and translucent and the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Add the coriander seeds and paprika and fry for another 2 mins.
- Stir in the sherry vinegar and stock, bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the sultanas and capers.
- Transfer to a casserole dish, then add in the chicken pieces, skin side up to roast in the oven, uncovered, for 15-20 mins until simmering and the chicken is cooked through. Serve with the herbs and almonds scattered over.
