Directions
Pollo Pendejo (Foolproof Chicken), The literal interpretation for this recipe is idiot chicken , because it’s really difficult to mess up Marinated in a sauce and then cooked in beer, the chicken is almost guaranteed to come out moist and juicy (unless you reallllllllly overcook it) You could serve this with buttered noodles, mashed potatoes or rice Add a salad and call it a complete meal! Recipe courtesy of Ingrid Hoffmann , More than 5 stars, please! It was Foolproof and it was Fabulous! Not the only translation of the title I’ve ever heard, but no matter! I did have to use some cornstarch as someone else mentioned to get the sauce to thicken up No problem! It went well with Red Rice, btw! made for CQ4, I needed something to pack for dinner at work, so I made sandwiches out of this used multi grain flatbread wraps, American cheese, lettuce, pickles, tomato and a little bit of honey chipotle mustard (I warmed the wrap/chicken/cheese in the microwave at work, and added all the cold veggies afterwards) For the chicken, I let it marinate overnight before cooking it I didn’t have light beer, so used Modelo instead Once the chicken was fully cooked, I removed it from the sauce and continued to simmer the sauce for a while to reduce it and thicken it up (didn’t want the chicken to get overcooked) Very tasty chicken, and versatile, too! Thanks for posting this keeper! Made for CQ 2017 Central America
