Pollo frito estilo cubano     
by Cuban Cook
Serves: 8  



Notes:A delicious dish, the chicken simmers until it is tender, absorbing the tangy marinade.


Directions:

Wash and pat dry chicken pcs. Set aside.

Mix together garlic, cumin, lime slices, and sour orange juice. Note - If sour oranges, or sour orange juice, is not available, you can mix 1/4 c. fresh lime juice with 3/4 c. orange juice.
 Pour over chicken pcs and mix well until all the pieces are saturated. Cover with onion rings and allow to marinate for about 3 hrs or longer.

Heat a large skillet and add in the olive oil. When the oil is hot enough, saute/fry onion slices till golden. Add in pimiento, pepper, and salt. Add in chicken and marinade. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 min, then turn over and cook on low heat for another 25 to 30 min, or until chicken is completely done.

Ingredients:

4 Chicken pieces with skin removed
3 Cloves Garlic - Peeled and crushed
1 tsp. Cumin
1 Lime
3/4 Cup Sour orange juice
