Here is an authentic Uruguayan recipe for marinated chicken. It is simple to make & absolutely delicious. This recipe uses 2 whole chickens - approx weighing 3lbs each - you can use 6lbs of chicken pieces if you prefere. In the recipe I have stated apple vinegar but you can use your own preference. Time to make doesn't include the cooling & chilling time. Ingredients:
2 (3 lb) whole chickens, cut into serving pieces |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
4 carrots, sliced |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
2 large onions, sliced |
1/2 teaspoon thyme |
1/2 teaspoon marjoram |
18 whole black peppercorns |
salt, to taste |
3 cups apple cider vinegar |
1 1/2 cups olive oil |
Directions:
1. Brown the chicken in the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. 2. Place the chicken pieces in a large saucepan or casserole and add the carrots, onions, garlic and spices. 3. Add the vinegar and oil and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the chicken is done. 4. Remove from the heat and allow to come to room temperature. Chill well in the refrigerator - at least 5 hours but best overnight - and serve cold. |
