Note:
A delicious recipe. It is not the most common way to prepare this bird in Cuba, but it is frequently used during Christmas or on special dinner occasions with family and friends. It is simple and does not require many ingredients, unless you choose to make it stuffed. It can be served with rice or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients:
  • 1 chicken weighing 2 lbs.
  • 1/4 cup of white wine
  • 2 julienned onions
  • 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 your taste. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Slice the onion into thin strips 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 about one hour. During this time, baste the chicken two to three times with the juices that collect to prevent the meat from drying out. This is a delicious and simple international recipe that varies by region, each with its unique characteristics. If you like, you can add rosemary, which gives a special aroma. Although it's not a common seasoning in Cuba, it will delight your guests.
