POLLO RANCHO LUNA

There is an outdoor country-style restaurant in Havana, Cuba that serves only white rice, French fries and a delightful chicken with all the sauce you want. Someone gave me this recipe, and it's similar to the one served at that restaurant. The orange juice and lemon juice give it a sweet, pungent flavor.

Tips:

  • Prep ingredients in advance: Chop, dice, and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcrowding and ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking a lot of chicken, do it in batches. Overcrowding the pan will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. Chicken is best seared rather than charred.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through: The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit when it is cooked through.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Pollo Ranchero is typically served with rice, beans, and tortillas. However, you can also serve it with other sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or salad.
