Instructions

Clean chicken pieces, remove excess fat, and pat them dry.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven; brown the chicken over medium-high heat, then transfer it to a platter.
Remove all but two tablespoons of the fat; sauté onions until tender, then add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in wine, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, brandy, honey, cinnamon stick, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.
Return the chicken and any juices to the pot; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
Cover the pot and continue to simmer for approximately 1 hour.
If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for the final 10 minutes to reduce it; stir occasionally and serve over cooked pasta or orzo, topped with grated cheese.
