The recipe is divided into two stages: marinating the chicken and cooking the chicken
How To Marinate The Chipotle Chicken
In a blender, add sliced onion, adobo sauce, garlic, chile powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and some olive oil, and blend them till everything is blended into a smooth paste. You can also add water to adjust the consistency of the mixture; just make sure the total paste is 1 cup in measurement.
Now, take the chicken thighs and poke them with a fork for the marinade to sweep in evenly. Cover the thigh pieces in the marinade evenly and set them aside to marinate for at least 60 minutes, but if you have time on hand, let them marinate overnight.
How To Cook The Marinated Chipotle Chicken
Take a large cast-iron pan, put it on a medium flame, and drizzle some olive oil to completely grease the bottom of the skillet. When the oil is cooked, add the marinated chicken to it.
Keep on tossing the chicken periodically till it is cooked completely, even from the inside. Make sure to check the temperature with the cooking thermometer and maintain the temperature between 167 and 170 degrees F.
Take out the cooked chicken on a plate or a cutting board before cutting. After the chicken is down to a normal temperature, cut it into desired pieces and devour it.
