    Drunken Chicken or Pollo Borracho

    Someone told me about Drunken Chicken years ago, and I never got it out of my head. Thank goodness because man was I missing out. I always seem to overcook my bird in the oven and it turns out dry. Even the roasted chickens at the store can be dry, or undercooked which means you have to microwave it until it is fully cooked thus making it dry once again!

    If this is the case for you, you MUST make this. It is beyond simple and seriously the most delicious chicken I have ever had. Like EVER!! I will never go back to regular old baked chicken.

    This would be the perfect Father's Day meal! Seriously, what more could dad want. Sitting around the BBQ with a cold beer in his hand and in the birds behind!

    I cooked this up in a little over an hour  and served it with some tortillas, salsa, avocado, herbs and radishes. It was a great meal with next to no preparation other than rinsing and drying the bird, salt and pepper on the skin and a beer in the butt. Voila, it is ready to be slow cooked on the grill!
