Chipotle Chicken Thighs With Chunky Guacamole Food

WHISKEY ORANGE CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS AND DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Add the cilantro, garlic, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, tomato paste, marmalade, whiskey, olive oil, salt and black pepper to a food processor or blender. Puree until smooth. Put the chicken thighs and drumsticks in a resealable bag or an airtight container. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to 2 days (if the chicken is in a bag, place the bag in a baking dish before refrigerating it to avoid leaks).
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Arrange the chicken in a large roasting pan, skin-side up. Pour in the marinade along with the chicken.
• Bake until the skin is fully caramelized and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thighs reads 170 degrees F, 45 to 55 minutes. Serve garnished with a bit of fresh cilantro.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN GUACAMOLE SUB

Steps:

• Slice the roll in half lengthwise. Lay roll on a clean, flat work surface. Spread guacamole evenly over both sides of the roll. Add the cheese first, followed by the chicken and jalapeno slices. Sprinkle pico de gallo over the top and crown sandwich with top of the roll.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CHUNKY GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Season chicken with paprika and salt and pepper, to taste. Heat the extra-virgin olive oil, a couple of turns of the pan, in a Dutch oven or large high-sided skillet with a lid. Add the chicken and brown on all sides. Remove the chicken to a plate and spoon off the excess fat. Add the chorizo and brown a couple of minutes, then remove it to a plate. Stir in the carrots, onions, garlic, thyme and chipotle, and cover the pot. Reduce heat a bit, and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes and bring to a bubble, then add the chicken and the chorizo back to the pot and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes more to cook through. Cool completely and store in the refrigerator for a make-ahead meal.
• To reheat, add 1 cup of stock to the chicken in a Dutch oven and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat, until the sauce bubbles, then gently stir and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
• Heat the tortillas or bread and set aside.
• Halve and gently dice the avocados into large chunks. Add them to a small bowl and douse with the lime juice. Season with salt, to taste, and lightly mash.
• Arrange the chicken in shallow bowls topped with sauce and a mound of avocado, tomatoes, parsley and onions. Serve with tortillas or bread, for mopping.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN TINGA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large non-stick flameproof casserole dish or saucepan. Fry the onions with a pinch of salt for 10 mins, or until softened. Add the garlic and fry for 1 min more. Tip in the chipotle paste, tomatoes and sugar with half a can of water. Sit the chicken thighs in the sauce. Bring to a low simmer and cook, covered, for 20-25 mins, stirring often, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the chicken is cooked through.
• Using two forks, shred the chicken and stir it back through the sauce. Season to taste. If the sauce is too thin, return to the heat and simmer for 5 mins until the sauce has reduced more. To freeze, leave to cool completely and transfer to large freezerproof bags.
• To make the salsa, combine the red onion, tomatoes, lime zest and juice, coriander leaves and stalks. Season to taste. Serve the chicken with the tomato salsa, tortilla chips, guacamole and a scattering of coriander leaves.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil in a deep, wide frying pan until soft. Add the chipotle paste (use 1 tbsp for a mild flavour and 2 tbsp for a hotter, stronger one). Stir and cook for 1 min, then add the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins with the lid half on. Stir to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice and soured cream.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Butterfly cut each thigh (Slice the inside of the thigh so that it will cook quicker and more evenly). Season each thigh front and back with cumin and pepper.
• Heat oil in large frying pan over medium high. Add both of the onions and bell pepper, saute for about 5 minute.
• Add chicken thighs and brown for about 10 minute turning over once to brown both sides.
• Add the 2 tablespoons of chipotle puree and 2 peppers. Disolve and sprinkle the chicken bullion cubes over the chicken (or if you have granulated bullion, add 2 tablespoons).
• Add about 2 cups water, or enough to barely cover the chicken. Mix the water in the pan a bit and taste if it needs more salt.
• Cover and cook for about 20 mins on medium high or until the juices from the chicken run clear and the sauce has thickened enough for your taste. When done, turn pan off and add the cilantro.
• Serve with rice.
