Pickled Spring Chicken: traditional flavour with a surprising twist
The Pickled Spring Chicken prepared for Hacienda El Espino is a gastronomic creation that combines the best of traditional Spanish cuisine with top-quality artisanal preparation. This gourmet product stands out for its well-balanced and flavourful escabeche, full of nuances — ideal for those who wish to enjoy an authentic, natural, and versatile dish. Its delicate taste and juicy texture make this spring chicken a culinary experience that captivates from the very first bite.
Artisanal preparation with natural ingredients
The Spring Chicken is carefully selected and prepared following the traditional Spanish escabeche method. It is slowly cooked in a blend of sunflower oil, olive oil, and aged wine vinegar, along with garlic, bay leaf, salt, and peppercorns. This combination of natural ingredients enhances the flavour of the meat and gives it a unique juiciness. Each piece is prepared by hand, without preservatives, colourings, or additives, respecting both the cooking time and the essence of authentic cuisine.
A classic recipe with a distinctive character
The secret to the success of this pickled spring chicken lies in its balance. Unlike stronger escabeche recipes, this one maintains perfect harmony between the acidity of the vinegar and the smoothness of the oils, with an aromatic touch that makes it both different and intriguing. The result is a dish that is full of flavour yet delicately balanced — ideal for those who appreciate a gourmet preserve with personality but without excess.
Versatility on the table
Its versatility makes it an excellent option for any occasion. It can be enjoyed cold or warm, as a starter, appetiser, or main course. It pairs beautifully with salads, roasted vegetables, pulses, or simply with good artisanal bread. It can also be warmed in a bain-marie or microwave (in a suitable container for 2–3 minutes), preserving all its aroma and flavour.
At Licorea, this product stands out for its balance, authenticity, and ability to bring the essence of Spanish culinary tradition to lovers of fine food. A simple, honest, and delicious dish that proves quality lies in the details.
