My DH prepared this lovely chicken dish. We used 4 lbs of hind quarters, and it was definitely enough for 6 - and probably 8 - people. This dish simmers on the stove in an amazing juice that includes red wine, tomatoes (we used ones from the garden and canned last summer), brandy, coffee (!), honey, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, and at the end, it was garnished with watercress. My DH thought the cinnamon was too strong. While I could notice the cinnamon, it didn't seem like too much for me.
The suggested bread is definitely something to remember. This sauce is so amazing, you will want to include every bit.
I should note that the bitter watercress flavor was an excellent counterpoint to the rich sauce.
