Steps:

• Combine the chicken, rum, lemon juice, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, adobo seasoning, onion powder, pepper, coriander, and sazon seasoning in a bowl; stir. Cover and allow to marinate in refrigerator 4 hours.
• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat to about 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
• Spread the flour into the bottom of a shallow dish. Coat each piece of marinated chicken with flour.
• Fry the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil in small batches until no longer pink in the center and golden brown on the outside, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to the hot pot to brown, 6 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer chicken a bowl and cover with an aluminum foil tent.
• Reduce heat to medium; add onion to the pot and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in sofrito and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add potatoes, chicken broth, tomato sauce, sazon, cumin, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Return chicken to the pot. Cover and cook for 1 hour. Remove chicken.
• Mix water and cornstarch together in a small bowl; stir into simmering mixture until nicely thickened. Place chicken back into the pot and continue to cook about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Place the onion, half of the garlic/salt mixture, wine, olive oil, and vinegar in a blender and chop thoroughly. Pour marinade over the chicken and refrigerate, covered, for 2 to 4 hours. Drain marinade from chicken and pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Rub the chicken halves on both sides with the rest of the mashed garlic/salt mixture. If you can get some of this underneath the skin without ripping, great. Sprinkle the chicken with lime juice and then black pepper and cumin on both sides. Dust chicken lightly with flour and brown chicken quickly on both sides with olive oil in a saute pan.
• Place chicken halves in a roasting pan, skin side up. Roast 30 to 45 minutes, or until juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer if you need to, or if your "significant other" gave you one for Christmas.

Steps:

• Heat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over high heat until a drop of water sizzles on contact. Roast the tomatoes, turning several times, until blackened on all sides. Let sit until cool enough to touch. Working over a bowl to catch any juices, peel off the black skin. Seed the tomatoes, chop the flesh roughly, and set aside. In a blender or food processor fitted with the steel blade, puree the chipotle chiles and the sauce that clings to them with the water or stock. Set aside. In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until very hot but not quite smoking. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cumin, nutmeg, and pureed chipotles and cook, stirring, another 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium; add the shredded meat, and simmer, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once.

Steps:

• Roll chicken in seasoned flour.
• Brown in skillet with butter.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Remove chicken and saute onions, garlic and green pepper.
• Add pimento and uncooked rice.
• Stir over heat 2 minutes.
• Add chicken broth, chili powder, comino seed, salt and pepper.
• Put rice mixture into greased casserole dish and arrange chicken breasts over top.
• Bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours.

Steps:

• Wash the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add as many of the chicken thighs, skin side down, as will fit without touching.
• Cook until the skin is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 5 minutes more.
• Remove the pan from the heat and spoon off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat, leaving all the lovely brown bits behind. Return the pan to low heat, stir in the garlic and thyme and cook until the garlic starts to turn golden, about 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the sherry, increase the heat to medium and bring to a boil. Let it boil a minute or 2, then return the chicken to the pan skin side up. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Cover the pan tightly and cook 20 minutes. Flip the chicken pieces (or rotate them top to bottom if using a smaller pan) and cook until the chicken is very tender, about 20 minutes. Serve hot.
• Note: If you like a mix of white and dark meat, substitute a 4-pound chicken cut into 10 pieces. Let the thighs, drumsticks, and wings cook in the sauce for 15 minutes before adding the browned breast pieces. If you'd like to use all white meat, cut the breasts in half crosswise, brown them as described above, but let the sauce cook down 10 to 15 minutes before adding the chicken breasts.

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken, pat it dry, and season with salt and pepper. In a large casseroleset over moderately high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil until hot. Add the chicken and cook it until no longer pink on all sides. Transfer to a plate. Heat the remaining oil in the casserole over moderate heat until hot. Add the onion, carrot, and salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the tomato, garlic, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves, and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes more. Return the chicken to the casserole, add the wine, and reduce it over moderately high heat for 1 minute. Add the water, bouillon cube, sun-dried tomatoes, dried red pepper, if desired, and more salt to taste, bring to a boil, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes more, or until chicken is tender. Add olives and cook 5 minutes more. Transfer chicken to a serving plate and reduce sauce over moderately high heat until lightly thickened. Discard bay leaves, spoon sauce over chicken, and sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Combine marinade ingredients in a plastic zipper bag.
• Add chicken strips and marinate in refrigerator for at least 3 hours.
• Combine flour, paprika, pepper and salt in another zipper bag.
• Transfer chicken strips to flour mixture, coating evenly.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat and fry chicken in batches of 4 strips (don't overcrowd; oil will cool down too much during cooking), taking about 4 minutes per side to brown outside and thoroughly cook insides.
• When done, transfer chicken strips to a plate lined with paper towels, and lightly sprinkle with salt.
• Cook remaining batches of strips, keeping others warm in a low-temp oven.

Steps:

• Wash chicken with sterilized water and rub the chicken with the lime juice. In a bowl mix the chicken with peppers, tomatoes, onions and season with oregano, garlic and a pinch of salt. Liberally sprinkle with the adobo. Marinade for at least an hour and as much as to 3 days in the fridge.
• In a large pot (cast iron pot preferred) heat the oil over medium-high heat, add the sugar and let it brown, then put the chicken in pot, reserve the vegetables and liquid. Saute until the meat is light brown. Add 2 tbsp of water, cover and simmer over medium heat until meat is tender adjusting water when necessary, add the rest of the ingredients (except tomato paste) including vegetables and marinade cover again and simmer adding more water if needed. There should be about 1" worth of liquid.
• When the vegetables are tender mix 1/2 cup of water and the tomato paste and add to the pot add the cilantro continue to simmer over low heat to produce a thin sauce. Adjust salt to taste remove cilantro before serving. Serve over white rice with stewed beans.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 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 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.

Steps:

• Dredge each piece of chicken thoroughly with seasoned flour. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Remove browned chicken to a large baking dish (8x12). Add bacon, carrots, chiles, parsley, bay leaf, thyme, and any remaining seasoned flour. Place lemon slices on top of chicken and pour tomato juice over all. Cover and bake in preheated 350 degree oven til chicken is tender, about an hour. Will freeze ok.
• I have changed the tomato juice to V-8 and add lots more bacon, and about 5 carrots. The lemon slices are very good to eat along with the chicken, so I add 2 lemons.
• We serve this with steamed rice, yummilicious!

Steps:

• For steak tacos I have the steak run through a machine so it is flat. I haven't tried pounding the chicken flat when making this but I think it may work better. Consider this an optional step, as every time I've made it without pounding it, it still comes out fantastic but it takes a while to cook. Maybe split breasts would be good.
• Season meat by sprinkling with Adobo, Cumin, and Pico de Gallo seasoning. I like to use the adobo that has cumin in it and if you choose to go this route, you don't need to use any extra cumin. If you like spicy food use more pico seasoning, if you like mild use a smaller amount.
• Rub seasoning into meat thoroughly.
• Layer meat, onions, and garlic in a deep pan or bowl. I have also begun layering lime slices along with it.
• Pour mango nectar and lime juice over meat so that the liquid just covers the top of the meat. I use about a 3 part mango nectar, 1 part lime juice mix.
• Let sit for several hours or over night.
• Cook on hot grill.
• Serve with warm tortillas and desired taco toppings.
• An alternate cooking method:.
• I had the guy at the meat counter cut up the chicken into taco meat, if you shop at a hispanic grocery store they'll know exactly what you mean if you ask them to cut it for tacos but basically its just cutting it into small chunks. I still marinaded everything the same way, rubbing the seasonings into the meat is more difficult but still doable. Instead of grilling the meat however, after everything marinaded I put the whole mixture, marinade and all in a slow cooker. I wouldn't use lime slices in the marinade for this though so you won't have to pick them out.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, beat egg and water. In another shallow bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and soup mix. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Place in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan; drizzle with butter.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear. Meanwhile, prepare rice according to package directions. Serve with chicken.
