Pollo en Escabeche – Chicken Cooked in Vinaigrette Marinade

This savory chicken dish is a Puerto Rican favorite. Depending on the country, there are other ways of making pollo en escabeche. In the Spanish language, escabeche usually refers to pickled dishes. However, this dish calls for chicken cooked in a vinaigrette and olive oil sauce. The result is highly flavorful, savory chicken.

The chicken is usually eaten hot with a rice dish, but you can cool the chicken and pull it off the bone, then use it in other dishes such as chicken salad sandwich or chicken noodle soup.
