Ingredients

8 servings

  • 1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) whole chicken, skin removed and cut into pieces
  • ¼ cup rancho adobo sazon criollo, or to taste
  • 1 red onion, chopped into large pieces
  • 2 Cubanelle peppers, chopped
  • ¼ cup sazon liquido
  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
  • ⅓ cup tomato paste
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon powder, or more to taste
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Place chicken pieces in a bowl and season generously with ranchero sazon criollo. Add onion, Cubanelle peppers, sazon liquido, and garlic paste. Toss to coat chicken evenly.
  • Put oil in the bottom of a heavy pot. Add brown sugar and do not stir. Turn heat to medium-high and cook until sugar is very, very dark brown but not burned, 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully add chicken pieces to the pot 1 at a time, reserving vegetables and any liquid left in the bowl. Stir chicken, coating each piece with sugar-oil mixture. Cover and cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add reserved vegetables and liquid, water, tomato paste, celery, and bouillon powder to the pot and stir to combine. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Let stew until chicken is cooked and tender, 15 to 30 minutes.
