Preparation (9 steps)
Preparation of the chickens
Sing the chickens (if necessary). Introduce a whole candied lemon into each chicken to flavor the flesh. Slide two more candied lemon halves under the wings. Tie everything up. Salt and pepper generously.
Preparation of onions and garlic
Cut the onions in half and put them in the Thermomix bowl. Chop them for 3 Sek./Stufe 5. Add the garlic and chop again 3 Sek./Stufe 7.
Cooking onions and garlic
Add the olive oil (5 to 6 tbsp), coriander (1 tbsp), parsley, crushed pepper, cloves and saffron (6 g) to the bowl. Cook everything for 3 Min./120°C/Stufe 1.
Seizing the chickens
In a large skillet, brown the chickens on all sides in a little olive oil. Remove the chickens from the pan and set aside.
Cooking the chickens in the Thermomix
Put the cooked onions and garlic back into the Thermomix bowl. Place the browned chickens on the onion and garlic mixture. Pour water or broth halfway up the chickens. Close the bowl and cook for 60 Min./100°C/Stufe 1.
Turn the chickens
Gently turn the chickens halfway through cooking (after 30 minutes) so that they cook evenly. Add olive oil if necessary.
Reducing the sauce
Once the chickens are very tender, remove them from the bowl and set aside to keep warm. Set the Thermomix to 15 Min./Varoma/Stufe 2 without the lid to reduce the sauce.
Adding olives, lemons and livers
Add the black olives (500 g), the candied lemons cut into quarters and the poultry livers (if you have any) to the bowl. Simmer for 10 Min./90°C/Linkslauf Stufe 1.
Serve
Serve the chicken with the olive and candied lemon sauce. Serve with couscous.
