I've made this several times and had people rave about the chicken, we love it and I have had the book it came from for many years. Elena's secrets of Mexican cooking by Elena Zelayeta get it if you can find it!

How To Make pollo de hacienda (chicken country style)

Step 1

Dredge each piece of chicken thoroughly with seasoned flour, fry in hot oil until golden.

Step 2

Remove chicken to large casserole or baking dish. Add bacon, carrots, bay leaf, chiles, thyme and any left over seasoned flour.
Step 3

Place lemon slices on top of chicken and pour V8 over everything. Cover casserole and bake at 350 for 1 hour. Will freeze well. I serve with steamed rice.
