MEXICAN CHICKEN WITH ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Pre-heat your broiler.
• Place the tomatoes, onions, jalapeño and garlic on a cookie sheet.
• Drizzle the onions with a bit of vegetable oil.
• Broil the vegetables until the garlic skins are coloured and the garlic softens.
• Remove the garlic and continue broiling the tomatoes start to blacken. Turn your jalapeños regularly and watch the onions. I can't tell you how long this takes. I don't know how mean your broiler is.
• Combine the roasted vegetables with the cilantro in a food processor and whiz until you get a smooth salsa texture.
• Add lime and salt to taste.
• Combine all the spice mix ingredients and mix.
• Pre-heat your oven to 400F.
• Pre-heat a cast iron or similar frying pan large enough to hold the chicken in a single layer.
• Rub a bit of oil on the chicken and season with the spice mix.
• Roast the chicken until done. For breasts you want an internal temperature of 165F. For thighs go to 175F.
• Remove the pan from the oven, remove the chicken and spoon off the visible fat. Be careful to leave all those brown bits and any liquid in the pan.
• Place the pan over medium heat. Place a towel or something on the handle because you will grab it and burn your hand badly if you don't.
• Add about 1 1/2 - 2 cups salsa to the hot pan, stirring up all those brown bits. These are the flavour bombs. Cook for about 1 minute.
• Add enough chicken stock to get to a saucy consistency and bring to a simmer.
• Taste and adjust for salt.
• To serve, spoon the sauce onto a plate and top with the roasted chicken.

• When the chicken is ready, remove from the oven to a plate and cover with foil. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the tomato and onions to a food processor and blitz until smooth. Reserve the cooking juices from the roasting tin.
• Heat the remaining oil in a medium saucepan and fry the garlic, chillies and coriander seeds for a few mins until just brown. Pull the meat from the chicken bones, tear into chunks and mix with the beans, lime zest and chipotle paste. Add this chicken mix to the pan but reserve one-third of it. Pour the soup into the pan and add enough of the cooking juices until you get a nice consistency. Heat a few inches of oil in a small saucepan, then carefully shallow-fry the tortilla pieces in batches until crisp. Drain on kitchen paper.
• To serve, gently reheat the soup, season to taste and stir through the coriander. Top with the reserved chicken mix, avocados and lime juice. Serve with the tortilla chips and soured cream, if you like.
