Puerto Rican Chicken Recipe

Description:
All over Puerto Rico, there are Barbecue stands, but they do chicken like we do pork or beef. The aroma and taste are like nothing you have ever had. If you prefer Barbecue sauce with your chicken, try a sauce with honey and add a little extra honey and brush it on the chicken.

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole chicken
  • Adobo seasoning
  • Season-All salt

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Chicken:

    • Put the chicken in a large baking dish. Use a knife and stab the chicken on both sides about 50 times, piercing the skin.
  2. Season Chicken:

    • Sprinkle Adobo seasoning all over both sides of the chicken very heavily.
    • Take Season-All salt and sprinkle a medium amount on both sides.
    • Rub the seasoning gently into the skin. Then lay the chicken skin side up and sprinkle a little more Adobo seasoning all over the top.
  3. Marinate:

    • Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and leave it overnight in the refrigerator to marinate and absorb the flavors.
  4. Cooking Method:

    • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
    • Cover the chicken with aluminum foil and bake it for 1 and a half hours or until it’s nearly done.
    • Uncover the chicken and brown the top as desired, either by increasing the oven temperature or using the broil setting. This step adds a delicious crispiness to the skin.

Serve your Puerto Rican Chicken hot and enjoy the authentic flavors of the Caribbean! This recipe is perfect for weeknight dinners, as it’s easy to prepare and yields tender, flavorful chicken with minimal effort. Pair it with your favorite sides for a complete meal 🍗🌴.
