About the dish

Gutui cu pui is a traditional dish originating from the region of Banat. The dish is usually made with a combination of chicken legs, quinces, butter, rum, oil, flour, sugar, rosemary, and salt. The quinces are sautéed in butter and cooked in rum, while the chicken legs are dredged in flour and browned in oil. The sugar is carefully heated over medium heat and mixed with water, then mixed with the chicken, quince, rosemary, and salt which will slowly cook in a lightly caramelized sauce until done. Gutui cu pui should be served immediately.
