Instructions
- In a non-reactive bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Add chicken and massage to fully coat with marinade. Keep overnight in the refrigerator to cure. Drain meat from marinade.
- In a wide pan, add chicken in a single layer and water. Simmer until the chicken is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Add the oil and continue to cook the meat, turning on sides as needed, until lightly caramelized and a thermometer inserted in the center reads 165 F.
- Remove from pan and cut into serving portions. Serve hot.
Notes
- Due to the acids in the marinade, it's best to use non-reactive material for marinating, such as a plastic, stainless steel, or glass bowl.
- Do not marinate too long, as the acids in the lemon juice will denature the meat, making it mushy. An average of 4 to 6 hours (or overnight at best) is enough to impart desired flavors.
- If you want to freeze the tapa for future use, drain the chicken from the liquid and store it in resealable bags or airtight containers.
