I am in shock that nobody has reviewed this recipe. This is absolutely amazing. I prefer to use the dark meat of the chicken but either one is good. I had this dish at my friend's Aunts house in Miami back in 2000 and have been making it ever since. When I make it, I call it Miami chicken because as most of us do with recipes...I altered it a bit but not too much. Try this, you wouldn't be disappointed
