Delicious and easy. Two suggestions: Our local Brazilian restaurant puts onion in their salsa, and I think that makes it much better. I added one third cup of finely chopped onion, and the salsa was perfect. Also, we have a kosher home and couldn't use butter, and the crushed bay was a problem because I don't have a spice grinder. So I broke up the bay leaf and steeped it in a few tablespoons of boiling water in a small pan for awhile. Then I boiled away the water and replaced it with a couple tablespoons of olive oil, heated the oil, and let the oil pick up the flavor from the pan and the steeped leaves. It was really delicious oil. After the garlic rub, I coated the chicken (I used skinless thin cutlets with the oil, and grilled in a grill pan. Subtle but really delicious.

I made this whole dish for dinner last night and it was amazing. I did make cilantro rice to go along with it and the flavors mixed right together. I also added a little bit of balsamic to the salsa for that little extra. The longer it sits, the better the flavor. Very easy to make also.

I lived in Brasil for several yrs, I don't know this dish, but in the picture looks like an egg on top which is not unusual in some Brasilian dishes But egg is not in the procedure or recipe?. As for Mike on the comments: read the directions your asking about the garlic. It clearly states put 1 clove of crushed garlic on each thigh. 1 plus 7 = 8. Tchau Brigado

I love all of Emeri's recipes. I haven't made this one yet, but I can tell by the ingredients that this will be very flavorful. I have 1 burning question - Where is all the Garlic? The recipe directions said to use 1 garlic clove to rub the chicken flesh under the skin. There is no mention elsewhere what to do with the other 7 cloves. I didn't watch the show. Did anyone see where the 7 cloves are used? My thanks to anyone who can help me. Michael

I made this last night as a suggestion from my father-in-law. It was listed in meals under $10 for a family of 4. I cooked mine on the inside grill and made some cilantro and onion rice to go with it. :
