Brazilian Chicken A Mineira
Share recipe
Description
This is a recipe from the region where I'm from in Brazil. It is good to eat on Sundays. In Portuguese it's called frango com caldinho.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 8 skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 3 large onions, diced
- 5 tomatoes, diced, or more to taste
- 2 bay leaves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons water, or as needed
Directions
- 1. Whisk vinegar, garlic, and paprika together in a large bowl. Add chicken and turn to coat. Let marinate in the refrigerate, at least 1 hour.
- 2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, discarding marinade; cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
- 3. Stir tomatoes, bay leaves, and salt into the skillet. Add a little water to prevent sticking. Reduce heat to medium and cook, adding water to thin sauce as needed, until chicken is tender, about 40 minutes.
