Juanita's Chicken Cuervo
Yield: 2 to 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 ounce tequila
- 1 ounce triple sec
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons chile pasilla
Instructions
- Heat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Place chicken in roasting pan.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper, and place in oven.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes. Because cooking time will vary depending on bird size and altitude, check chicken's internal temperature with a meat thermometer. When the temperature reaches 165 degrees, pull chicken from oven.
- Let chicken rest and begin making sauce.
- In a sauté pan, heat butter until melted.
- Add garlic and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Add remaining ingredients and reduce over medium-high heat until sauce reaches desired thickness, about five minutes.
- Slice chicken, pour sauce over sliced meat and serve.
