Picantones with almonds and cranberry sauce
Given that today we find many varieties of birds in markets and supermarkets, it is interesting to experience new flavors.
The picantón is a chick of approximately 1/2 Kg of weight, fed with wheat and slaughtered for a month of life, which makes it a very tender and juicy meat, although a slightly less tasty than chicken.
Its meat is white, with little fat and less dry than a meat normal chicken, being less done. It can be consumed roasted, baked, grilled, fried, stewed ... In this recipe I have cooked them with onions, almonds and blueberry jam, to make a delicious sauce with a light bittersweet touch; very suitable for this type of meat, which as I mentioned has a little less flavor than that of a larger chicken.

For two picantones
- 2 picantones
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 or 2 onions (depending on size)
- 1 glass of white wine
