SPICY SICILIAN CHICKEN: Pollo in Stemperata

We just finished eating lunch and it's time to make dinner again?  Wow - -time flies when you're having fun! For the real chefs who emailed me today -- thanks for the encouragement! Yeah - - I hope my family will not hate Batali after this challenge. So far so yummy good  -- still on Day 5 though! Still reading through the pages and I was thrilled that Batali substituted italian tuna for anchovies (hubby  hates anchovies) so one big rock down.  Thanks for the emails - -I'll respond tonight!

I'm crossing out the easy dishes and this one is a no brainer - similar to a Filipino dish I know, the difference is using red wine with reduction technique. Versus Mario's, I skipped on the olives and 5 dried hot chiles. Probably  not as hot as Mario will present it - -but a PG 13 on the spice level (teens don't like spicy), but don't worry -- it has a zing to it!

Do you have a viable business but lack the necessary finances to get it off it’s feet?

Wow, I love Peking duck and never thought to make it myself, but you are always a source of inspiration. Can I just say that when I first saw that picture, I thought had a 6 pack, and was ripped! Regardless of the athletic inclinations of the duck, the final results look amazing.
