The slow-cooking method allows the garlic to mellow and infuse the chicken with its aromatic essence. It is often served during family gatherings, celebrating the simple yet profound flavors of rustic cooking. Today, variations exist worldwide, adapting the dish to local tastes while maintaining its garlicky charm.
