I got this recipe from Lifestyle Inquirer.net
The name of the recipe is rather intriguing. What is chicken a la pobre? Pobre in Spanish means poor, so what is chicken for the poor? Is it an imaginary chicken? 😉 Is the chicken so malnorished that it is just skin and bones? 😉
The recipe looks fun to make so will try making it and will tell about a poverty stricken chicken when cooked! 😉
Cravings’ Chicken a la Pobre
CHICKEN a la Pobre
- tbsp finely minced garlic
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
- tbsp liquid seasoning
- tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- kg chicken thighs, bone-in (around 6 to 7 pieces)
- Cooking oil, or nonstick cooking spray
To serve:
- Toasted minced garlic
- Gravy (optional)
In a bowl, combine garlic, cayenne pepper, liquid seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Marinate chicken thighs in the mixture for 10-15 minutes.
When ready to cook, spray griller with nonstick cooking spray, or brush griller with cooking oil. Heat the griller to medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill the chicken thighs, skin side down first. Turn chicken thighs over after around 10-15 minutes and continue grilling until chicken is fully cooked and tender. Serve with toasted garlic and with gravy, if desired. Makes six servings.

Cook’s tips
For a stronger flavor, double the amount of the marinade. You should also double the amount of the marinade if cooking more than one kilo of chicken thighs.
If desired, you can debone the chicken. Spread out the chicken, butterfly-style. This will make it cook faster.
So as not to burn the garlic when toasting it in a pan, use only low heat and stir the garlic in the pan continuously until it turns a light golden brown.
