Steps:
- Mix the crushed garlic (1 head) and cumin with the chicha or wine/orange juice spice mix.
- Marinate the chicken pieces in the liquid marinade mix for at least 1-2 hours, overnight is ideal.
- Put the chicken and the marinade in a wok or a large deep sauté pan, add the whole garlic cloves and the chunks of white onion
- Cook over low medium heat, should be lightly boiling most of the time, for about 1 ½ hours or until the liquid starts to reduce, stir occasionally.
- Continue cooking for another 30 minutes, but keep a close eye on it from this point, stir more frequently.
- Reduce the heat to low until the liquid is gone and a small amount of grease (from the chicken) replaces the liquid. Stir frequently to keep the chicken from burning and cook for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken pieces are browned.
- Serve with fried or baked ripe plantains, llapingachos or potato patties, tomato and red onion curtido salsa, avocado slices and aji or hot sauce. The chicken fritada can also be served with mote or hominy, boiled yuca or rice instead of the potato patties.
CHICKEN MARINADE - ECUADOREAN
I rub it all over 3-4 pounds of chicken pieces, leave it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to marinate and then grill it. You could probably bake it, but I haven't tried that. You can substitute cumin for the oregano, but leave out the rosemary. You can add 2-3 serrano peppers, chopped finely, or the jarred yellow peppers from South America, if you really like heat. I have used this with steak, but I add 1 tsp thyme for that. This does not store well, so make it the day you will use it.
