Step 1
Start by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking them gently until the onion becomes soft and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Once they’re ready, scoop them out into a bowl and set aside.

Step 2
Add the rest of the olive oil to the pot and heat it up again. Toss in the chicken pieces and cook them, turning occasionally, until they’re nicely browned all over—this usually takes around 5 minutes. Pour in the wine, bring everything to a simmer, and let it cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 15 minutes.

Step 3
Next, stir the onion and garlic mixture back into the pot along with the tomato sauce, black pepper, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, and cinnamon. Bring the stew up to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let it simmer gently for about an hour, or until the chicken is so tender it easily falls apart.
