Gallina en pepitoria is a classic Spanish dish of hen ( gallina ) in a rich, thick sauce. In the past, the dish was prepared with a hen, but nowadays it's usually prepared with chicken. The hen or chicken is cut into pieces, dusted with flour, then fried until golden brown. The sauce is made with garlic, onions, serrano ham, sherry or white wine, chicken stock, almonds, saffron, parsley, and crushed hard-boiled egg yolks. The almonds and egg yolks are used as thickening agents for the rich sauce, while saffron gives it a beautiful golden color. When served (usually on festive occasions), gallina en pepitoria is often accompanied by rice, fried potatoes, and a slice of rustic bread to mop up the sauces.
