💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Turkey is leaner, while chicken thighs are often less expensive.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a high smoke point and is heart-healthy.

Heat 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a casserole dish over medium-low heat.

Add 4 chicken drumsticks, 5 chicken wings, and 5 chicken thighs to the dish and brown on both sides.

Smash 2 cloves of garlic with the skin on and add them to the dish to infuse flavors.

Cover the dish with a lid to keep moisture in and cook for 10 minutes.

Check the chicken after 10 minutes, ensuring it's browned on both sides.

Add chopped celery, chopped carrots, and chopped onion to the dish, spreading them around the chicken.

Add a little bit of rosemary and 1 glass of red wine to the dish, then cover again to allow the wine to evaporate.

After the wine has evaporated, add the homemade tomato sauce (or passata) to the dish, mixing it with the chicken and vegetables.

Generously season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.

Cover the dish and slow cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
