CHICKEN ASADO

This is my grandma's recipe. The last time I remember making this was back in 2005. I love my Lola Zeny :) 

CHICKEN ASADO

INGREDIENTS:

2 lbs chicken legs

¼ cup soy sauce 

1 medium sized lemon (squeezed, set juice aside)

1 clove of garlic (chopped)

¼ medium sized white onion (cut into strips)

8 oz tomato sauce

1 cup water

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 to 3 pieces bay leaves

Directions:

Marinade chicken legs with soy sauce and lemon juice for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Using a large sauté pan, heat oil over medium to high heat, pan sear the chicken. Save the soy sauce mixture.  Once chicken has a little bit of color, transfer to a baking pan lined with foil. Bake chicken for 20 to 25 minutes, 425ºF.

Using the same sauté pan, sauté garlic and onion. Once onion is opaque, add the chicken, tomato sauce, water, soy sauce mixture and bay leaves. Stir and bring to boil, switch to medium heat, cover and let it boil for 5 minutes. Serve with steamed rice.
