Tie chile and bay leaf in cheesecloth and add to the dish.

Season with salt and pepper.

Terra-Cotta Stewed Chicken

Cover with foil and place the lid firmly on top so that no steam escapes.

Bake the chicken until very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours.

Discard the cheesecloth bag.

Tilt the pot and skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
