A delicious Puerto Rican-inspired chicken recipe, perfect for a hearty and flavorful meal.
Place the chicken in a large baking dish.
Ensure the chicken is evenly placed for uniform cooking.
Pierce the chicken skin all over with a knife to allow the seasoning to penetrate.
Be careful while handling the knife to avoid accidents.
Generously sprinkle adobo seasoning over both sides of the chicken.
Use your hands to spread the seasoning evenly.
Add a moderate amount of seasoned salt to both sides of the chicken.
Adjust the amount of salt based on your taste preference.
Rub the seasonings gently into the chicken skin, then place it skin-side up in the dish.
This step ensures the flavors are well absorbed.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to marinate.
Marinating overnight enhances the flavor significantly.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside.
Cover the chicken with foil and bake for 1.5 hours or until nearly cooked through.
Check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it's cooked.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top.
For extra crispiness, broil for the last 5 minutes.
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
