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.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for a weeknight meal. I would recommend it for a weekend meal.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly in this dish. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was tender.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but overall it was still good. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder.
