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.
