Chicken in a Garlic, Herb and Olive Sauce

Ingredients

225 milliliters / 8 fl oz olive oil
2 chickens, about 1.3 kg / 3 lb each, each cut into 8 pieces (skin left on)
6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
3 bay leaves
300 milliliters / 1/2 pint dry white wine
12 manzanilla green olives

Instructions

Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, then fry the chicken over a high heat for about 5 minutes on each side until browned. Add the garlic, thyme and bay leaves, then add the wine - take care as it will splutter so put the lid on quickly. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 - 20 minutes until the chicken is tender (see tip). Season with salt. Stir in the olives and serve with mash and salad.

I wonder what this Chicken in a Garlic, Herb and Olive Sauce would taste. I know that anything cooked in garlic and olive oil tastes good. I have cooked before using thyme and bay leaves. So let's see how all these would taste when combined together in one recipe. Personally, I think I will like this recipe as I'm really into simply cooked fare. I can't wait to do this.
