Puerto Rican Chicken Recipe

The first recipe I learned to make at home is this Puerto Rican chicken recipe. It’s simple, uses a lot of spices, and the flavor is out of this world. Appreciate it for supper with a side of Spanish rice, kidney beans, sweet plantains, and avocado for a definitive Puerto Rican supper!
