Recipe of Cognac chicken

Vida Recetas Editorial

Cognac chicken is a classic recipe that combines the juiciness of chicken with the deep, aromatic flavor of cognac, along with a vegetable sofrito that creates a delicious sauce. This dish, of European origin but very popular in Latin America, is perfect for those seeking a comforting and flavorful meal, ideal for a special dinner or a family Sunday. The key is to marinate the chicken for 12 hours with spices like cumin, achiote, and oregano, which intensifies its flavor. Then it is slowly cooked with carrot, onion, bell pepper, celery, tomato, and mushrooms, all bathed in cognac. Although the alcohol evaporates during cooking, it leaves an unmistakable aroma and taste. This recipe is easy to prepare, although it requires marinating time, and is ideal for those who enjoy intense flavors and dishes with a certain sophistication. You can serve it with white rice, mashed potatoes, or a crusty baguette to soak up the sauce. If you want to vary, you can substitute cognac with brandy or dark rum, although the flavor will change slightly.
