Note:
A delicious recipe. It's not the most common way to prepare this bird in Cuba, but the recipe is frequently used during Christmas or on special dinner days with family and friends. It's simple, doesn't require many ingredients, unless we want to make it stuffed. It can be served with rice or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients:
  • 1 chicken of 2 lb.
  • 1/4 cup of white wine
  • 2 onions chopped into julienne strips
  • 3 crushed garlic cloves
  • 1/4 lb. of butter
  • Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste
Instructions:

Season the whole chicken with salt and pepper. Crush the garlic and rub it over the chicken. Add cumin to taste. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Slice the onion julienne style and set it aside. Grease the baking dish with butter. Add the sliced onion and place the chicken on top. Pour the wine over the chicken and place it in the oven for approximately 1 hour. During this time, baste the chicken two to three times with the juices that accumulate to prevent the meat from drying out too much. It is a rich and easy international recipe that is made in every region with particular characteristics. If you like, you can add rosemary, which gives it a special aroma; although it is not a commonly used seasoning in Cuba, it will please the diners.
