Description

This Pollo al Rhum (Italian for Chicken with Rum) is one amazing recipe and makes me happy I had them on hand. If you’re tired of the same old, same old chicken, you should try this out.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Chicken Thighs
  • 3-½ Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 4 whole Fresh Sage Leaves
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • ½ cups Rum
  • 1 pinch (large Pinch) Of Nutmeg
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Pat your chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season well with salt and pepper on all sides. Set aside.

Place your chicken fryer/skillet over med-high heat. Once your pan is hot, add in your butter.

Once the butter is melted, add in your sage leaves and then your chicken thighs. Sprinkle thighs with your nutmeg. Cook thighs until they are browned on all sides, turning as necessary.

Once the chicken is browned, add in chicken stock and cook for approximately 5-6 minutes. Lower the heat to simmer/low and add in the rum. Cover your pan with a lid and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until your chicken is cooked through, turning every so often.

Buon appetito!

Finally got to making this one this weekend but had a couple mishaps I will share that turned out okay in the end. (Then I’ll do this right next time, promise. There WILL be a next time.)

I went to the store to get sage, picked it up, told myself it was thyme I needed, so grabbed that instead. Got to my sister’s house where I was cooking, and no nutmeg. (Yeah, I thought the same thing, who doesn’t keep a little nutmeg? hehe) That’s okay… once I read the recipe I didn’t think it would work with the thyme so well anyway and I was not going back for sage.

So, I used thyme and sweet paprika instead of sage and nutmeg. It worked very well with the rum. I have a idea of how the sage and nutmeg would taste and am eager to do this again using those. Thanks for the recipe!

First, I found your mushroom recipe, then the suggestion to serve this chicken recipe with it. I plan on putting it all on my grocery list for this week. It all sounds scrumptious! Is there any other vegetable or maybe a salad that you usually serve along side?

Thanks for the interesting recipes! I will let you know what my family thinks!

This is very easy and VERY tasty. While it was cooking the smell was amazing and I couldn’t wait to eat it. Definitely a keeper!

Easy to make, well written instructions. Even when using the wrong seasonings (I used thyme on accident over sage so substituted sweet paprika for the nutmeg), it turned out to be an extremely yummy dish!

This is easy and very flavorful. Definitely on my “make again” list. I might have used a little too much rum, or perhaps I didn’t let it cook long enough before reducing the heat. Rum flavor was a little too strong for my taste. But that won’t stop me from making it again – with that little adjustment. This dish smells great too!
