Rum Runner Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Start the sauce first:
  • Saute onion and garlic at medium high until onion is translucent
  • Add chopped tomato and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add water or chicken broth, salt, sugar and molasses.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes covered.
  • Add the rum, lime juice and zest and simmer 10 minutes uncovered.
  • Keep hot until chicken is ready.
  • (Add capers a minute or two before serving)
  • During the simmering time prepare the chicken:
  • Mix flour, salt, pepper and chili powder on a plate.
  • Dredge chicken in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
  • Using a large heavy saucepan that has a lid, heat olive oil uncovered until very hot.
  • Fry chicken on high, 1 minute on each side.
  • Cover tightly and reduce heat to medium.
  • Simmer 10 minutes.
  • Without removing the lid, remove pan from heat and let stand covered for 15 minutes. This unusual technique from The Joy of Cooking produces plump, juicy chicken every time.
  • Place chicken in a serving dish or on plates and cover each piece with sauce. Serve immediately with a substantial pasta like penne or rotini.
  • Suggested side dishes: steamed acorn squash with butter and molasses, or stir-fried broccoli with slivered almonds or chopped pecans.
