The chicken is washed well, carefully cleaned of any remaining feathers, and cut into suitable pieces. It is important that each piece is uniform so that it cooks evenly. Then, it is placed in a deep pot, to which three-quarters of the oil is added. The pot is covered with a lid, and the chicken is allowed to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. This process will ensure that the chicken becomes tender and flavorful. Meanwhile, the quinces are cleaned. These aromatic fruits, with a firm texture, are sliced, taking care to remove the stony part and the seeds. The quinces are then rolled in the remaining oil in a separate pan over medium heat. It is essential to avoid browning them, so they are stirred constantly until they become slightly soft but still retain their shape. Once the chicken has been simmered for about 20-25 minutes and is nearly cooked, the quinces are added over the meat. It is important to use a spatula to avoid breaking the quince slices. A little water is also added to the pot to prevent burning, keeping everything moist and tasty. In a small pot, the sugar is caramelized, taking care not to burn it, as the taste becomes bitter. While the sugar melts, a glass is taken, and flour (or starch, depending on preferences) is placed in it, adding water from the recipe. Then, the grated lemon zest and lemon juice are added, mixing well to obtain a homogeneous mixture. After the sugar has caramelized evenly, it is extinguished with the liquid mixture. It is left on the heat for a few minutes until the sugar completely melts and integrates into the composition, creating a thick sauce. This sauce is carefully poured over the chicken and quinces, ensuring that all ingredients are well covered. The oven is preheated to 180 degrees Celsius, and the pot is placed in the oven, allowing everything to bake for 20-30 minutes. During this time, the flavors will blend perfectly, and the chicken will become juicy and delicious, while the quinces will add a sweet-sour note, turning this dish into an unforgettable culinary feast. Finally, it is served warm, alongside a side of rice or mashed potatoes, to complete this savory dish.
