Pollo Escabechado

  1. Wash chicken well, then pat dry.
  2. Salt and pepper the skin side.
  3. Heat olive oil in a pan with a large surface area (I use a 5-qt straight-sided saute pan).
  4. Brown the chicken, skin side down, then turn skin side up.
  5. Add onions, garlic, carrots, pepper, wine, bay leaf, spices and knock it around a little to mix everything up.
  6. The wine should come to about halfway up the chicken, so add a little more if necessary.
  7. Bring it all to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cover.
  8. Cook for an hour or so, until chicken is done, tender and falling off the bone.
  9. Add vinegar and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, just to take the edge off.
  10. Serve chicken and veggies over rice or your favorite starch.
  11. I use rice because you can ladle extra juice over it, and this is my idea of a good time.
  12. Notes:
  13. Alino complete is a spice mix that we get everytime a Chilean relative comes up.
  14. The one we get is a mix of dried oregano, cilantro, salt, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper all whizzed in a spice grinder into a fine powder.
  15. I think its sort of like a curry powder, in that you can make your own to taste and keep it on hand.
  16. I also use more cumin than the recipe calls for because I love it.
  17. Its easy (and gross) to overdo it though, so tread lightly until you find your sweet spot!
  18. I have known to be ambitious and mix the wine and all the spices up in a jar first so that its pre-mixed when added to pan.
  19. It doesnt really matter in the end, just mix everything well.
