Mom's Cuban Chicken and Rice
Small Chicken (2-3 pounds) or 4-6 chicken breasts
Fresh Squeezed Grapefruit Juice (twice as much as Orange Juice)
Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice (2 limes)
Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice (2 lemons)
8-10 cloves of garlic
Salt and Pepper
White Rice
Squeeze juices (you can use frozen/carton/can juice but it's not as good as fresh)
Make twice as much Grapefruit juice as Orange juice and you're looking for about 2 quarts.
Add Lemon/lime juice to taste. You're looking to get a sour orange taste (original Cuban recipe used sour oranges which are hard to find in the states)
Smash garlic gloves and add to juice mixture...let set an hour or so.
Prepare Chicken with salt and pepper rub
Use a roasting pan in an oven at 450 degrees. Place chicken on breast. When chicken is halfway done (20 minutes or so), flip to back and pour all the juice mix over the chicken and continue cooking til done. If using chicken breasts, flip when halfway done.
Prepare rice.
Serve chicken on bed of rice and add cooked juices. Salt and pepper to taste.
Sorry for the vague instructions. I got this recipe from watching my mom cook it when I was a kid. I have made it many times and it tasted like "mom's". I figure people know how to cook chicken. LOL!!
Enjoy!
