- This rustic dish has its origins in the Italian region of Tuscany, using simple ingredients to their very best. The chicken is cooked with robust flavours of garlic, rosemary and chilli, served on delicious bruschetta.
Watch this video and follow Gennaro's step-by-step recipe and you'll be enjoying Pollo alla Toscana at home in no time at all.
Ingredients
For the chicken:
1kg x chicken pieces, thighs & drumsticks
Salt & pepper
Plain flour for dusting
150 ml extra virgin olive oil
Cloves from 1 garlic head, kept whole with skins on
A large bunch of rosemary, broken in half
150 ml white wine
For the bruschetta:
A few slices of bread
A garlic cloves, peeled but left whole
Method
Season the chicken chunks with salt & pepper and dust with plain flour. In a large heavy-based frying pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil. When hot, add the floured chicken chunks and seal well on all sides for a couple of minutes until golden-brown and quite crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic and rosemary, cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes, turning the chicken from time to time. Raise the heat to high, remove the lid, add the wine and simmer until it has evaporated.
Check the chicken is cooked; the flesh should come easily away from the bone and there should be no sign of pink when you pierce the thickest part. Skim off the oil from the top and set aside.
For the bruschetta, toast some slices of bread, immediately rub them with the garlic and then drizzle with some of the reserved olive oil. Serve the chicken with the bruschetta.

The best thing about Gennaro (apart from EVERYTHING) is that he doesn't talk as though he's talking to an audience, he talks as though you are his favourite grandchild and you are right there in the kitchen with him, learning how to make the family recipes.
Oh My! My! My! My! My!! Why you cooking so good!??
@Natalie Kula 😘
I feel that.
reminds me of my italian grandad when I grew up in long island, rip
Low class bottom society shitstain inter race loser scum
Your passion for cooking inspired me to open a small and cozy Italian restaurant in Egypt
you must to invite SISI first guest vip
Well, good luck. Hope you can succeed and have many happy customers.

He's seems busy almost like he has a restaurant
Is half the menu from gennaro?
I'm a simple man, I see Gennaro, I press like
You are simple, aren’t you?
@@Sean-ce1hu Glad it's not just me who hates these 'I'm a simple man/woman..' comments. There must be tons of 'simples' on CZcams; simpletons!
1:56 The first guy ever in a video telling you to wash your hands after preparing chicken. Thumbs up, Gennaro!
You need someone to tell you that?
@@Sean-ce1hu I don't need it, but other people do. Sadly there's enough people out there who don't have a basic understanding about hygiene (in the kitchen).
I freaking love Gennaro! He makes me so happy every time I see him on screen.
I love Gennaro too!!
I love his accent. I'm in love with this man with his accent!
How I wish I could be in Gennaro's kitchen watching him cook and chatting with him over coffee n biscotti. So enjoyable.
Finally!! This is Tuscan chicken, not the other recipes that I saw on CZcams where the chicken is covered in a creamy sauce and put along with pasta. Bravo Gennaro, questa è una ricetta davvero genuina!! 😊
Chicken ALONG WITH pasta? Ó_ò
I totally agree! Simplicity is best!
Sei Toscano? Ma te la conoscevi questa ricetta? Perché io con tutto quell'aglio intero e il peperoncino non l'ho mai mangiato in vita mia...
I like the creamy version with sun dried tomatoes. And I don't want an entire clove of garlic on my plate. Just didnt care for this version. Looks primitive.
@@marlenejones6266 your not Italian thats why

This man's love for food gives me life
A very dramatic presentation for a simply delicious chicken dish. Demonstrating a lesson I have learned in 45 years of cooking, simplicity always produces the most delicious foods.
Gennaro almost cries when he eats the chicken. It really shows how big his love for his home is. Beautiful.
Every time I watch Gennaro cook it makes me want to cook!!! I could watch him cook all day!! 😋
I’ve been looking at a few “Tuscan Chicken” recipes….and some, although they look and sound amazing (cream, sundried tomatoes, paprika)…this is authencity. I can see it, smell it and taste it through Gennaro’s visceral demonstration of how to cook this rustic dish. I’m going to do this for my Italian priest.
He's ever so slightly bonkers. In a good way.
Thanks Gennaro, I just returned from Lucca and its so beautiful. I made the Tuscan Chicken and it was so easy to make tasted great. Finished the rest of the bottle of wine before the chicken was cooked
Gennaro, you are a treasure!
He is great..makes me love cooking.and he keeps it simple..I will never starve...
I love how he always has gnarly looking saucepans
Made this dish. Was spot on! I cannot understand the people who have to dislike, or hate on Gennaro. Wait.... it just hit me! These haters believe "Olive Garden" is authentic Italian, with the everlasting bread sticks, and greasy, over cooked and separating sauce, drizzled over noodles. Or maybe they just can't cook! )))) SMH!((((
I've made this twice since the first time on Valentine's Day 2017. I am already looking forward to making it again. Absolutely one of the tastiest and SIMPLEST meals I've made in a long time! Thank you Genaro! Nobody has more fun in the kitchen than you and it's delicious.

How he feels when he tastes his creations is how I'd love to feel, too.
I was watching this video for the first time with my beautiful daughter, Lucca. What an awesome surprise for you to mention the city she was named after.
Thank you for all you do, Gennaro.
Make this, it's so bloody easy and the results will blow you away 10/10 recipe!!
+1madaboutguitar I agree, it looks simple but the flavour is quite complex.
10/10 for sure if you like the ingredients
Legend cheff...Dear Gennaro Contaldo...Greetings you all.
...and he reacts to food like any true Italian! We DO love our food!
Just found this recipe and it's probably changed the way I think about cooking; so easy and probably one if the best meals I've ever cooked! 😊
I love your passion for food.
He's Italian, haha.
Fancy a change from the traditional Sunday roast? Watch how to make rustic Tuscan Chicken with Garlic and Rosemary with our favourite Italian cook, Gennaro Contaldo.
Fantantic Gennaro
I'v seen Gennaro doing this dish long time ago and since then, i made it myself hundreds of time. Its the best dish, easy to do it simple, very limited ingredient, very taste. grazie
martin london hey, I presume you remove the garlic once it's cooked ?
@@lummers12dub lol very late but if you slow cook garlic like that it's sweet not sharp
I love how instead of saying, "Plenty of olive oil" or "a lot of olive oil", he says, "abundant olive oil"
Because in our language we would say abundancia....so it’s easier for him to translate. Thank you for understanding. Have a wonderful day.
@@RS-ec6ik Thats fantastic!
I really admire you. You came over here, You speak English AND you started a business!!
He cooks with love and passion. It’s infectious!
I'm speechless of awesomeness of joy from watching Gennaro Contaldo..😀😁😂😃😄😊🤗

Incredible
Hey Gennaro, your passion for cooking is so contagious. Bravo
This guy talks about Italian food the way I think about it when I'm really, really, really hungry.
I love tuscan italy.
The best chef ever.
Nice, I've been to a few counties in Europe, but Italy, especially Tuscany, is the only place I'd consider moving to and living there!!
I am new to Mr. Contaldo's channel. I found him by accident when I decided to make my pasta homemade instead of store bought. I have now made two of his recipes, including this one, and i am blown away! Mr. Contaldo, you are a joy to watch! I love your passion and your simplicity yet flavorful recipes! Im offically addicted to your channel!!
If that chicken could talk, it would have said thanks! Cheers Chef, you're an inspiration.
It'd probably be pissed because someone/something killed it. Still an awesome recipe nevertheless.
I love love love his passion for cooking. I can hear it in his voice and I can see it in his cooking this is a true connoisseur of good cooking.
The way he whimpers when he grabs a bite... you can feel his passion for cooking. What a legend!
cooking this for dinner tonight. Tuscan chicken with Italian music playing, Chianti wine, authentic table setting creating our own Italian experience at home in Australia thanks to Gennaro. Much love to you and Beautiful Italy. xx
I have made this over and over..its amazing how it comes perfect each time .. love your recipes
Thanks Mr G, you're the king of Italian cooking!
What a guy. I miss seeing him around Angel Islington pre COVID
Love the way he cooking and his passion
Incredible. This is now one of my favorite meals to cook at home
i have a question? Why are you cooking so good?
he keeps it so simple, but his recipes blow my mind when I make them.
Cause he's Italian
Love
Fantastic skills, fantastic ingredients fantastic flavors and the fantastic colors.
WELL
Threw my slowcooker in the bin after watching this , this ladies and gentlemen, is how you develop flavour in your cooking....
This mans genuine passion is incredible.
I just made this exactly the way he prepared it except I used a French chardonnay and a Fresno chili but everything else the same. It is so delicious! It's actually an easy and quick Friday night meal. Thank you, thank you, Gennaro. You are so beautiful! Also, I have been to Italy and Siena.
Love this guy! A real true italiano!
This is fantastic. I’ve made it twice in three days. Tonight I made sure I had enough drippings/sauce left, strained it, and stewed orzo in it with spinach. Delicious accompaniment with the chicken. Thanks for this video!
This man is a legend!
LOOKADAT! I love Gennaros passion!
Ok so I just made this recipe....Gennaro you are my favorite cook-So much flavor!!!! Honestly so good. If you need more sauce, just add more wine and reduce.
Love this kind of dish, love to watch Gennaro cook, and would love to visit Italy, so much to see, so much to taste.
gary daniels I have been to roma, agree with you
Totally!!!
Simple yet delicious recipe. Gennaro, why are you cooking so good!!!
This guy is awesome!! makes me hungry just with his talking!!
Haha at 5.15 when gennaro is struggling to deal with how good it looks/smells
One of your best recipes Gennaro!
I like how Gru is so in love with his food.
Can't believe I'm just finding this channel, where have you been all my life!!!
He has his own channel too : )
Ive just made this recipe man, it was by far the best chicken dish that I've ever eaten. Man, you rock!
Tuscany - the land of everything
So I've cooked this today for lunch... Sadly I didn't have fresh rosmary or some high quality vine, but the taste, the flavors.. OMG, it put chicken on a whole nother level, that i've never experienced before... so simply and sooo good! :D
What amazes me with this dish is that there’s such simple ingredients, and the outcome is always restaurant worthy.
questa ricetta e una "master piece"! Molte grazie Gennaro.
Gennaro, you are a cooking GOD!
Every time I see him eating, my mouth starts watering 😂❤
Classic Genaro Contaldo. Just made this and it's fabulous
The only other chef that I love watching cook on CZcams is Marco Pierre White, with his Knorr Stockpot and Great British Feast videos. He instills quite a lot of confidence in me to work at building my technical understanding of cooking, as opposed to worshipping recipes every time I pick up a frying pan. I mean this in the most sincere way: that Gennaro makes me think of someone - an average guy, not Michelin trained or world famous - who is filled with such a genuine love and passion for food, that it pours out of him. Every movement, every gesture, every excited shout, is just him sharing his joy with the viewer. I one day hope to cook with such fervor as Gennaro!
Astounding in its simplicity and its flavour. I have not one iota of Italian ancestry but Italian cooking in ALL of its regional variations has become my favorite. It even made me appreciate eggplant (melanzano... sp?) which I thoroughly despised when cooked by (unfortunately) my mother. She had her strengths (best steak and kidney pie ever) but eggplant (and liver) defeated her.
Not what I was looking for at all. But love this guy. Subscribed.
Love these videos! Such passion and intellectual approach to cooking.
Made this tonight and it was amazing!
Gennaro should be given awards in Italy and Britain and the USA
made this tonight, only had chicken breast handy, but even with that it turned out beyond delicious! This will be a constant in my rotation of recipes now. I also made an eggplant side dish and we rubbed the crostini with little tomato halves just before eating, also had a ricotta/parmesan/toasted pine nuts/basil side thing. Whole family loved it, I wish I'd have made double, wonderful recipe!
It got me through university alongside with few other of his recipes. Since you're gonna cook it till the meat falls off the bones it doesn't matter what kind or which part of the chicken would be used I could just buy the whole chicken and cut it down. A bottle of wine is enough for 2 or 3 halves of a chicken. It's quite inexpensive for a quality meal.
Fantastico Gennaro!! Meraviglioso!!!
Gino , you are my hero! The way how you fell the process and you are cooking, you are amasing! Bravo!!!
Surely if he’s your Hero.,you’d get his name right...? GENNARO..
Wonderfull, I did it. And before the sardines in tomatoe juice and mozzarella. Lovely!
I'm in love with this mervoloso and simple kitchen- toscany cultur and with Gennaro' s passione for good eat...this make the cielo of ITALY- VERITA💗💗💗💗😘😘😘 wonderful saluti da AUSTRIA 👋🏻🙏🍷🎶
Nothing but love for the food!
This is absolutely perfect!
He must be vey health physcially in order to crush both gralic and chicken by his palm. So enjoyable to watch him cooking! Love his passionate for food!
feachen1318 Crushing garlic with your hand is actually quite easy. You don't need to be strong at all, just need to know how to use your weight
Made one this evening, easy to do ans delicious. Thank you chef. It is so uplifting and joyful to learn recipes from you. ❤️
Why you cooking so good! TThis makes your mouth water, perfect for a casual lunch any day of the week, very simple to make, tasty healthy. Thank you for always sharing Gennaro!
