How to Make Chicken Country Style Pollo De Hacienda
Dredge each piece of chicken (about 1.5 lbs) thoroughly in 1/2 cup seasoned flour.
Fry chicken in 1/2 cup hot oil over medium-high heat until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes per side).
Remove browned chicken and set aside in a large baking dish.
Add 4 slices bacon, 2 cups chopped carrots, 2-3 chiles (serrano or jalapeño, minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 bay leaf, 1 tsp thyme, and any remaining seasoned flour to the baking dish.
Arrange 2 lemon slices on top of the chicken and pour 1 cup V8 juice over everything.
Cover the baking dish and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven until chicken is tender and cooked through, about 60-75 minutes.
Serve hot with steamed rice. The lemon slices are delicious eaten with the chicken!
