Mama's Best Chicken

I havent posted that many recipes but

I think this is one everybody will appreciate.

It's a "one-pot-meal" ready in 60 minutes.

I came across the recipe in the cookbook

"Bahama Mama's Cooking" that Mrs Krink

brought home in May 2002 from the Bahamas.

Made this last night and it is good.

 

Mama's Best Chicken

1 large chicken, jointed 

1 onion, sliced

1 stalk of celery, chopped

3 potatoes, peeled and quartered

1/2 cup of lime juice

3-cups water

2-bay leaves

Hot sauce to taste

Salt and Pepper to taste.

put it all in a big pot with a cover and

turn to medium heat for 1 hour.

 

I usually take a whole chicken and cut-it-up with

a kitchen shears and pull all the skin off the parts.

Hard to pull the skin off the wings so I usually just

toss them. So you go with 2-leg-thigh pieces and

the 2-breasts. (you can try this recipe with a "cut-up

fryer" from the store with the skin on and see if

it makes any difference. Actually you could put

any pieces of chicken in this pot and it will taste

fantastic). Sometimes you dont have celery on

hand...doesnt make that much difference. What

makes your taste buds wanting more of this

chicken preperation is what the 1/2 cup of

Lime juice does to the "chicken juices".

When its done and you take off the lid,

it's an aroma that stays with you all night

and the house has the same aroma

well into the night. Your personal favorite

hot-sauce addition to the recipe can make

some difference.  I just know this "good-eats"

Gotta be that lime juice. And the "hot sauce" pullin' out the chicken's real taste. An hour?

Might take a bit longer at a "simmer" on a stove-top in a pot... Sounds tasty!

Might be good ! I think so maybe.

Kinda like a soup recipe a buddy brought back from a Mexican vacation resort hotel chef.

Probably gonna need a little more hot sauce eh. Garlic perhaps ?

 My "hot-sauce" of choice for the making of "Mama's Best

Chicken" the other night was "Cholula Chili Garlic" hot

sauce. Last thing you do before putting the lid on is

dump a lot of hot sauce on all the chicken parts.

Another great addition to this recipe is "fresh ginger".

I take an inch of fresh ginger, peel-it, slice in half

and smash it and toss it in the pot. A half-cup of lime

juice may take 2-3 limes to make. The results seem

to be the same if you only have 1 lime's worth of juice.

But I encourage the half-cup of lime juice the first

couple times you make it
