* Step 1

Cut the chicken into legs, breast, wings, leaving bones in all pieces. Trim any excess of fat. If you choose to buy just chicken legs, skip this step.

While the oven is heating, add salt and pepper to the chicken. Then, cook it for a few minutes in a pan with some olive oil from Spain until the meat looks golden brown.

* Step 4

Put the chicken in the baking dish and add the Spanish EVOO until the chicken is completely submerged in it. You may need the full 4 cups, maybe a little more or maybe a little less.

* Step 5

Add the bay leaf, the rosemary, the peeled garlic cloves –whole-, the carrots, the orange peel and some black peppercorns. Mix everything in the baking dish.
