Pollo Borracho recipe
Drunken chicken or Pollo Borracho is a way of making chicken with alcoholic beverages. This drunken chicken recipe is made with beer, and you must use beer with alcohol in it. The alcohol will evaporate anyway, so it’s safe to eat for anyone, but good quality beer is really important!
Beer is softening the chicken meat and combining it with onion and tomatoes is a delicious way to serve it. While Pollo Borracho is a Spanish tapas recipe, it is really popular in Latin America as well, and you can find it with the same name.
If you’re a fan of international recipes or Spanish recipes, or you just want to create some Spanish vibes in your home while expecting friends, or just dining with the family, this beer chicken recipe will be a huge success!

What do you need for the best Spanish chicken breast recipe?
As you will be able to see below in the recipe itself, you can make the Pollo Borracho recipe either with chicken breast, chicken wings, or drumsticks. Since cooking is free art, we can accommodate recipes to our tastes. I personally don’t like to eat any meat that has the bone in it, so I prefer making Pollo Borracho with chicken breast.
As a side dish, if you’re doing Pollo Borracho to serve as the main course, you can serve it with Patatas Bravas, or baked potatoes. You can also combine it with other tapas recipes, such as Garlic Mushroom, that’s a light and tasty side to combine the drunk chicken with. You can also serve it with rice or cus cus, but these two can slightly change the perfect final taste.
The easiest is to use a non-stick cooking pan, one that’s deeper, so you’ve got enough space to cover the chicken with beer. Also, when it comes to the beer, if you have the possibility to use Spanish beer, even if it’s just a San Miguel, it’s always better to pick that. It just makes the Pollo Borracho recipe more Spanish!
