Pollo Al Limon Recipes

POLLO AL LIMONE

Steps:

• Instructions If you're not using paillards, pound your chicken breasts until they're about a ¼ inch thick. Season with salt and pepper on both sides and dredge in flour. On medium high, heat up olive oil in a frying pan, and when that's hot put in the garlic and capers and cook for a minute or so. Add your chicken breasts to the pan and lightly brown them on both sides. Pour in the wine, add a tablespoon or two of butter, the fresh lemon juice, salt, the parsley and the lemon zest. Let that cook until the wine reduces and the sauce thickens up. Pollo al Limone was last modified: October 4th, 2017 by admin

LEMON CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Pat chicken thighs dry and season well with salt and black pepper. Place in a large resealable plastic bag and add vinegar. Seal bag and gently massage chicken to ensure all thighs are coated in vinegar. Chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove chicken thighs from bag and pat dry with paper towels. The drier the skin, the crispier it will be when cooked.
• Place chicken thighs, skin side down, in a dry large cast-iron skillet and set over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until they easily release from the pan, about 4 minutes. Continue to cook, moving chicken around occasionally to ensure the skin is cooking evenly, until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and transfer skillet to oven. Bake until chicken is cooked through, 10-12 minutes. Transfer chicken and garlic to a plate.
• Set skillet over medium-high heat and cook lemons, cut side down, until edges are deeply charred (they should be almost black), about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate with chicken and garlic and let cool slightly.
• Squeeze lemon juice into a small bowl; add garlic, honey, and Aleppo-style pepper and whisk to combine. Whisk in oil and any accumulated juices on plate with chicken. Season vinaigrette with salt and black pepper.
• Drizzle half of vinaigrette on a platter and set chicken on top. Serve with remaining vinaigrette alongside.

POLLO AL LIMONE (LEMON CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Grate the zest of the lemons into a bowl that is large enough to hold the chicken pieces, and then squeeze in all the lemon juice, holding back the seeds. Whisk in the white wine, 1/4 cup of olive oil, the fresh herbs, and the garlic. Add the chicken pieces, turning them to coat well with the marinade. Set aside, covered, in a cool place to marinate for several hours (or prepare the chicken in the morning and refrigerate until time to start cooking dinner).
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan.
• Drain the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade, and saute them over medium heat until they are golden and crisp on all sides, about 7 minutes a side. Place the chicken pieces in an oven dish that is large enough to hold them in a single layer. Pour the reserved marinade into the frying pan and bring to a boil, scraping up all the brown bits in the pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and set the dish in the oven. Bake for about 35 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are done (the juices will run clear when you prick a piece with a fork.) Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as desired.
• Serve immediately in the baking dish in which the chicken was baked, or remove to a heated platter and pour the pan juices over.

RAO'S FAMOUS LEMON CHICKEN (POLLO AL LIMONE)

Steps:

• To attain maximum heat, preheat broiler for at least 15 minutes before using.
• Broil chicken halves, turning once, for about 30 minutes or until skin is golden-brown and juices run clear when bird is pierced with a fork.
• Remove chicken from broiler, leaving broiler on. Using a very sharp knife, cut each half into about 6 pieces (leg, thigh, wing, 3 small breast pieces).
• Place chicken on a baking sheet with sides, of a size that can fit into the broiler. Pour Lemon Sauce over the chicken and toss to coat well. If necessary, divide sauce in half and do this in two batches.
• Return to broiler and broil for 3 minutes. Turn each piece and broil for an additional minute.
• Remove from broiler and portion each chicken into each of 6 warm serving plates.
• Pour sauce into a heavy saucepan. Stir in parsley and place over high heat for 1 minute. Pour an equal amount of sauce over each chicken and serve with lots of crusty bread to absorb the sauce.
• Whisk together juice, oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Whisk or shake vigorously before using.
