Description

There are many chicken recipes, many of them similar, some with their own unique features depending on the region. In Spain, chicken is also prepared in various ways. In our case, due to the lack of specific ingredients, we had to slightly modify the recipe. To prepare chicken chilindron, it's not necessary to use only young chicken. You can use wings or legs as well. I'm used to cooking it with thighs or quartered pieces. See the recipe below.
