• 4 Garlic cloves
• 1 tsp coarse sea salt

1. 1.

   Divide the chicken into 12 pieces. Peel and finely dice the garlic cloves. Halve the pepperoncini, remove stem base, seeds, and membranes, then finely chop the flesh.

   Combine the marinating ingredients in a large deep bowl, add the browned hot chicken pieces, toss them in the mixture, and plate.
