Pollo en Escabeche - Chicken in a Pickle

Is this a pickle or a marinated chicken? When looking for the translation of the word Escabeche, I can find both options. Will you throw some light here? How would you call it? It sure has vinegar, but it also marinates in the sauce. Whatever the answer is... give it a try!!!! Either is winter, or summer, this is a fantastic way to eat chicken... see how versatile can be... in a salad or in its own sauce. Or rather, would you have it in a sandwich?
The cooking method is so simple that even a kid could prepare it! No complex processes implied, no difficult and rare ingredients... the kind of dish you can have prepared in advance, perfect for Psychgrad's TTT3!

Today I won't show you any chicken's crest ;D. Let's get our sleeves rolled!

Ingredients for 4 servings: 1 chicken, 1/2 liter of water, 200 grs of olive oil, 100 grs of vinegar, 2 or 3 branches of rosemary, 2 or 3 of thyme, half a garlic's head, 2 carrots, a small amount of different coloured round peppers, 1 cinnamon stick and some salt.

  • Prepare a big casserole with enough olive oil to roast the chicken. Cut the breasts and legs and wings and add salt and black ground pepper. Place in the casserole when the oil is hot. Roast the chicken until it gets all golden. Reserve.
  • Pour the oil inside a recipient and add more up to 200 grs. Pour back to the casserole. Add the rest of ingredients in the casserole and the chicken and simmer until the chicken is tender.
  • Let it cool down in the casserole. And when cold place in the fridge with all the sauce.
  • Just this simple!

I had it in a salad and cold, but you could have it hot in its sauce with some potatoes or in a sandwich... Whatever you choose it will be great! Use its own sauce to dress the dish.
