Time 9h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup lemon juice
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 chicken leg quarters
1 pinch sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Combine lemon juice, oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, chili powder, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and black pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend until very smooth.
  • Score chicken legs a few times using a knife and place in a resealable bag or a bowl. Pour about 1/3 cup of sauce over chicken and toss well. Season with additional sea salt. Cover or seal and marinate chicken in a refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight. Reserve remaining sauce for basting.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place chicken in a baking dish and cover with aluminum foil.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Choose the Right Chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are the best choice. They will stay moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.
  • Brown the Chicken: Browning the chicken before adding the other ingredients will help to develop flavor and prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
  • Use a Good Quality Olive Oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Portuguese cuisine. Make sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Don't Crowd the Pan: When browning the chicken, don't crowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Simmer until Chicken is Tender: Once the chicken is browned, add the other ingredients and simmer until the chicken is cooked through. This should take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Serve with Rice or Potatoes: Frango com ervilhas is typically served with rice or potatoes. You can also add a side of salad or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Frango com ervilhas is a delicious and easy-to-make Portuguese dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the peas are a great addition. This dish is also very affordable, making it a great option for budget-minded cooks. If you are looking for a new Portuguese recipe to try, frango com ervilhas is a great choice.
