Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Servings: 4-6
Instructions:
1. Start by placing the chicken drumsticks and breast pieces in a large bowl. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the chicken and add a generous pinch of salt. Mix well and let it sit for approximately 5-10 minutes.
2. Rinse the chicken to remove the lemon and salt water and place it in a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the chicken and bring it to a boil.
3. As the chicken begins to cook, skim off any foam that rises to the top to ensure a clear broth. You can reserve the broth later for cooking rice or another recipe.
4. After about 10 minutes, add a handful of cilantro, jalapeño peppers, celery stalks, and onion half to the pot. Let the chicken and seasonings simmer together for about 5 more minutes.
5. In the meantime, wash the vegetables and prepare for blending. Once the vegetables and chicken are well-cooked, remove the vegetables from the pot and place them in a blender. Blend them into a smooth mixture.
6. Season the broth with a chicken bouillon cube or some bouillon powder, if desired. Add a bit of garlic paste or ground garlic and adjust the salt to your taste.
7. Let everything simmer for an additional 5 minutes, then remove the chicken from the pot. The soup can be turned off and set aside.
8. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and mix it with the blended vegetable sauce, which will add tremendous flavor to the filling.
9. (This step would usually continue with preparing the tortillas and frying the flautas, but since the subtitles do not provide further details, this portion of the recipe will be based on general knowledge of making flautas.) Warm tortillas so they're pliable, place a portion of the seasoned chicken mixture on each tortilla, roll them tightly, and secure them with toothpicks.
10. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to 375°F. Fry the flautas (in batches if necessary) until they're golden brown and crispy. Drain them on paper towels, remove toothpicks before serving, and serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
Cooking Tips:
- You can adjust the heat by removing the seeds from the jalapeños for a milder flavor.
- Serve flautas with fresh toppings like diced tomatoes, lettuce, and cheese for added texture and taste.
Equipment:
- Large pot
- Skimmer
- Blender
- Fryer or large frying pan
