Pollo Al Ajillo Garlic Chicken Recipes

POLLO AL AJILLO - SPANISH GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces into a plastic bag together with flour, salt and pepper. Shake to coat.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan that has a lid and add the chicken and garlic. The frying pan should be big enough to fit the chicken in one layer. Fry, turning it over from time to time until the skin begins to brown.
• Add the wine and bay leaves and boil for 1 minute. Reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and cook over low heat for 25-30 minutes. Remove the bay leaves and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Pour a little bit of the garlic sauce over the chicken and serve. You can also squeeze out the cooked garlic from its skin. It's really good. Enjoy!

POLLO AJILLO RECIPE - SPANISH GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Sprinkle the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and flour.
• Heat the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or oven-proof dish. Once the olive oil is hot, add the chicken thighs skin side down and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the skin starts to brown.
• Add the garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and red wine. Turn the chicken thighs skin side up and cook in the liquid for 7-10 minutes or until the red wine starts to evaporate.
• After a total of 20-25 minutes or so, drizzle the chicken skins with olive oil and place the chicken in the oven for 5-7 minutes to finish the chicken off and crisp the skin.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

POLLO ASADA AL AJILLO: GARLIC ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the onion, half of the garlic/salt mixture, wine, olive oil, and vinegar in a blender and chop thoroughly. Pour marinade over the chicken and refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 4 hours. Drain marinade from chicken and pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rub the chicken halves on both sides with the rest of the mashed garlic/salt mixture. If you can get some of this underneath the skin without ripping, great. Sprinkle the chicken with lime juice and then black pepper and cumin on both sides. Dust chicken lightly with flour and brown chicken quickly on both sides with olive oil in a saute pan.
• Place chicken halves in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast 30 to 45 minutes, or until juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer if you need to, or if your "significant other" gave you one for Christmas.

CHICKEN IN GARLIC SAUCE - POLLO AL AJILLO

Steps:

• Wash the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many of the chicken thighs, skin side down, as will fit without touching.
• Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove the pan from the heat and spoon off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat, leaving all the lovely brown bits behind. Return the pan to low heat, stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the sherry, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Let it boil a minute or 2, then return the chicken to the pan skin side up. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan tightly and cook 20 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces (or rotate them top to bottom if using a smaller pan) and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
• Note: If you like a mix of white and dark meat, substitute a 4-pound chicken cut into 10 pieces. Let the thighs, drumsticks, and wings cook in the sauce for 15 minutes before adding the browned breast pieces. If you'd like to use all white meat, cut the breasts in half crosswise, brown them as described above, but let the sauce cook down 10 to 15 minutes before adding the chicken breasts.

Steps:

• Start by peeling the garlic cloves and slicing them roughly.
• Ppour olive oil until the bottom of the frying pan is covered and wait until it just starts to smoke. While you wait you can add salt to all the chicken bits.
• Then add all the garlic pieces and just when they start to brown add the chicken, inserting the bay leaves in between.
• You will need to cook it for aproximately 30 minutes or until all the pieces are crispy and brown, taking care to turn the pieces over so they get equally brown all over.
• If you want to have a bit of sauce, towards the end of the cooking lower the heat to minimum, remove the excess oil from the frying pan and add a glass of white wine. Cook for another 5 minutes and serve.
