Read our privacy policy For more than 80 years, Colu Henry’s family has been making chicken Quintiliano, a saucy, one-pan dish that’s slightly sweet with caramelised garlic and deeply tangy from balsamic and red wine vinegars. After union meetings, they frequently cooked meals together, and that’s when, one day, Luigi introduced Molly to his go-to chicken recipe. Chicken Quintiliano Tangy with vinegar and sweet from caramelised garlic, this one-pan chicken recipe is a great example of what Henry calls easy, fancy food in her new cookbook of the same name.
