Today I’d like to share with you a magnificent chicken recipe; it’s simple and easy to make but deliciosa. I usually prepare this meal using chicken drumsticks but you can use whichever part of the chicken you prefer.

1/4 teaspoon red pepper
8 chicken drumsticks

For the sauce, heat the oil in a pot and sauté the onions until they begin to turn golden-brown. Add the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken drumsticks) and cook the mixture until it boils.

Next, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 more minutes, stirring once in a while. Strain the sauce before using with the chicken.

Heat the oven to 400°. Salt the chicken to taste and broil for 20 to 25 minutes.

When 25 minutes have passed, coat the chicken with the guava sauce for one to two minutes to let the flavor to soak in.

Return to the oven at the same temperature for 20 more minutes. When finished, cover with the remaining sauce and serve.
