Crockpot Chicken Tinga - An Essential Mexican Recipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 авг 2023
- 🇲🇽 3-Step Chicken Tinga Recipe 🇲🇽
1️⃣ Plop the following ingredients into a Crock-Pot / slow-cooker:
• ~2lbs skinless chicken thigh (consider bone-in!)
• 2-5 canned chipotle peppers
• 1-14.5-ounce can of fire-roasted tomatoes
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 chopped onion
• 3 tsp kosher salt
• black pepper
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp Mexican oregano
• extra optional spices
○ chili powder
○ a whole bay leaf
○ smoked paprika
2️ Let it braise on low for ~6 hours or high for ~3 hours
(If using an instant pot, you can cook this under pressure for as little as 15 minutes! And if you've got one of the really fancy ones, you can even sear the chicken and onions in the pot before braising)
3️ Remove the chicken to cool. Set the Crock Pot to high. Use an immersion blender to turn the braising liquid into a smooth sauce. Shred the chicken with your hands and return it to the bubbling sauce. Serve chicken as part of nachos, tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, or enchiladas.
Good luck, chef. Lemme know how it comes out.

hi barkley
hi barkley
sorry i didnt see that im not allowed to talk to you until i have made chicken tinga. im sorry mr shaquille.
You first got my attention with nannernannernannerpuddn. LOL, I'd forgotten how to do it. Now, I'm trying this, which should work just as well with pork, beef, or alligator.
HE NAMED IT BARKLEY 💀
The master of the sub 7 minute food vid.
I feel like he made his next video ten seconds longer after reading this
It's insane how it felt so much longer due to the amount of information he got across in such a short time.
Came to this channel because of you Bri 🤙🏼

Blessedly pithy!
So in college, I used to throw chicken breast in a slow cooker with a jar of bad salsa. It was delicious... so I'm guessing this will be 1,000 times better.
And it's not even more expensive than using a jar of bad salsa!
My fellow lazy slow cooker chicken friend!
One of my go to recipes for like a full year was chicken breast + the cheapest salsa at trader joe's (salsa autentico, and A+ salsa if you like a little spice). Throw it in the slow cooker and then shred it after like 6 hours.
Tied with that was "carnitas", that is to say pork shoulder with the juice of two oranges, two onions (quartered), some mexican spices (chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt) and two limes, slow cooked for like 8 hours and then broiled to get a little crispy and a little burned. That shit was still delicious on day 6 my friend.
I still do salsa-chicken. It's way too good for how little work gets put in.
how much chicken and salsa?@@dorianthegray
@@yaboiharry It's a super forgiving recipe, it's basically about having enough liquid for the slow cooker to work right. I haven't made it in a few years, but I think it was a 24oz jar of salsa for like 3-4 lbs of chicken breast. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
i salute you for u for washing 3 different dishes for a 1 second onion clip
I mean, dishwashers exist and it takes approximately 10 seconds to put 3 things into it
YES! Would love to see more slow-cooker / Crock-Pot recipes.
I made birria for the first time last week with lamb shoulder in a slow cooker. Holy smokes.
@Zachary_Sweis stop... that sounds too good and I don't have access to a kitchen right now
@@msjkramey Sorry to hear that.
@@Zachary_Sweis no worries. Did it turn out well?
can you please give a man a link to the recipe???@@Zachary_Sweis
Great video. I love how it's less of a recipe and more of just a quick guide. Also I appreciate that you aren't laboring to make THE BEST most AMAZING chicken you've EVER had, but just something tasty, economical, easy, and nice. Cheers Shaq.
I read this in IntShaq's voice!
where you're wrong is that this IS actually the best most amazing chicken you'll ever have. if he won't say it I will.
Dude, if you need to do a Filipino sequel to this video, you gotta do Chicken Adobo. Just chicken poached in Soy Sauce, Vinegar, Peppercorns, a ton of garlic, and sugar. It's nice as it's basically the island's philosophical equivalent to chili, where every family's is different with different additives (but your own is the best).
I'd like details on this
Reminds me a lot of a NYT recipe "Slow Cooker Chipotle-Honey Chicken Tacos," I've made probably 50+ times. Works great in the instant pot too.
Post the link tho
@@phiacraft338just add some honey my dude
@@phiacraft338 If you copy paste the title into Google search its literally the first search result.
@@phiacraft338 just google bro, they gave the entire title of the article
Just made that the other night. Now I’m here. Wondering how „the algorithm“ knew that 😂 Adding: it’s a paid subscription @NYT cooking. To 2lbs chicken thighs add salt, cumin, chipotle peppers, honey. Cook as Shaquille says.
I don't know what I did wrong the last time I made tinga, but I made this version today and it came out so well! My only regret is that I didn't make more. Thank you!
I just made this, and I have to say this is 100% now the number one effort-to-taste ratio recipe that I’ll be keeping in my repertoire. I put it over a tostada with avocado and cheese and it was incredible
Seriously this thing is absolutely delicious and takes about 5 minutes to throw together.
Made enchiladas with this recipe using the blended braising liquid as the enchilada sauce. Absolutely phenomenal.
What a great idea!
i love that the matrix you provided are in coldstone serving sizes
I am absolutely terrible at cooking and I made this for my mexican-heritage partner and it worked exactly as described: three days of good tinga we used in multiple dishes over three days. This was added to our repertoire immediately. Thank you so much for sharing. I used an Instant Pot's slow cooking feature on "normal" for 6 hours and that worked just fine.
I made this last night, I loved it my wife thought it would be better with beef. But what makes it amazing is that I used the sauce to make a Mexican Shakshuka with a diced jalapeño and 1/2 onion this morning and it was a 10/10 and then some
I love the suggestion to make it with beef. I’ll give that a try. Thanks for sharing!
I love the idea of shakshuka💞 brilliant!
This is fantastic Seth. For those wondering, you can essentially do the same thing with a chuck roast to make some very low-effort high-reward barbacoa.
I made this last night in the Instant Pot and it came out great and was super easy and quick! I threw the contents of an entire 2.5 pound bag of frozen boneless thighs... Didn't even have to thaw them. Pressure cooked for 15 minutes, then 10 minutes natural release before quick releasing. Super fast and easy and made enough for 6 lunches. I portioned it with rice but after eating the first serving today, I think I'm going to get some corn tortillas for the rest of it because it's just begging for tortillas.
Lol thank you I was looking for someone who used an instant pot!
@robbb7257 was there enough liquid in the original recipe for the IP? or did you add some extra
@@fractaltheory I didn't add any liquid. I think there was enough in the chicken and onions and tomatoes to steam everything, and nothing burned.
did this and had to add an extra half cup of water to make it not burn (it didn't come up to pressure and gave the burn warning), but i also was sauteing the thighs first, and then the onions to deglaze the bottom, so i think that took some moisture away
@@patrickdaitya7084 yeah, I put the thighs in frozen so they were probably holding a lot of excess water.
Viktor, as a fellow Tomato enjoyer, have you considered making a video about tomato soup. Here in Franconia we eat them with Spätzle. Much love
@@paulmoreaux9828 That's his wife's last name I believe, his first name is Internet
For the vegans, jackfruit was absolutely not a bad swap suggestion but try with soy curls/soy chunks instead because they SOAK up that liquid 🥰
and unlike jackfruit, they've got protein! if i eat a dinner without a protein source i will be having a second dinner in 45 minutes.
@@takeoutchopsticks Absolutely agreed!
Saw this right before i was about to go to the store, and honestly i am excited to try it. Cooking it rn, will update.
Do not sleep on that unripe jackfruit either tho folks, as a person from the tropics I gotta say I almost prefer it to chicken sometimes, stuff's gooood. Have that over rice not as a protein but as the world's meatiest vegetable side, and boy do it slap
Instructions unclear, harvested 6.5 pounds of fruit from a ripe jackfruit from the store, so I tripled this recipe. Now I have quarts of sweet and spicy jackfruit soup. Too loose for burritos, too sweet for nachos, I wonder what I'm going to do with this stuff.
Still interested in trying this with some green canned jackfruit in the future, but any suggestions for this stuff?
Funny enough, I didn't know what chicken tinga was until I watched this video, but a few weeks ago I made literally the exact same thing with pork shoulder, all the way down to using canned Chipotle in adobo and blitzing the liquid into a sauce when it was done. I looked in my pantry and saw the can and thought "what the hell, let me throw something together". It was incredibly delicious.
The reason Mexican and Spanish Oregano is so much different from Italian Oregano is because it is often actually a lesser known herb called as Zatar which originated in the Middle East. Why it seems like a different ingredient is because it functionally is.
Mexican oregano is not zatar, Mexican oregano is native to Mexico hence the name. Lippia graveolens is the scientific name if you want more information on it.
I’m on board with summer crockpot recipes! I don’t want to heat up the house or be stuck watching a pot in the summer.
I’ve never been a fan of leftovers, but recognize that good food is good food so I make giant batches and freeze them in one-cup blocks (using Souper Cube silicone trays). Vacu-sealing really stretches their freezer life. Once I’ve done this a few times, I’ve got lots of variety so leftovers are yummy! With your recipe, I feel I could do a lot using this as the base and changing up the finish. Taquitos, tacos, and quesadillas, of course, or over rice or salad greens. That blended sauce is a lovely way to add to the elegance of simple foods.
Love the way you organize your videos, offer explanations regarding why you chose what you did and added options. Keep up the great work!
Love your style of presentation. Really appreciate your respect for the ease of preparation so popular now. Your success should continue to grow and it is well earned.
As a Mexican, glad Tinga is getting its recognition it deserves because so many non-Mexican people have never even heard of it considering it’s so common in Mexico.
Can’t wait to make this! Pleaaasaseee make some more croc-pot style videos, especially tips on how to extend cook times due to longer work shifts!
God bless creators who make actually doable weekday meals, i truly need more of this
Beautifully presented recipe 🥰 can’t wait to try this!!
I cannot wait to try this recipe. You are one of my favorite foodies online and I’m so happy to see you’re posting videos again! 🥹🫶🏼
Viewers Beware: don't be like me and put frozen chicken into your crockpot thinking that it will thaw first prior to cooking. The temperature change will crack the ceramic! What started as a hairline crack developed into a full blown fracture and the pot is now unusable
I went out and got the ingredients and made this almost immediately and it's INCREDIBLE. I agree that slow cookers are great in the hot summers so this is definitely joining my regular recipe arsenal.
The moment I try to look for a good way to make chicken thighs in the crock pot this pops up. Papa Shaquille has blessed me again.
I appreciate how simple, concise, and honest you are with your recipes. Thanks!
I generally do something in the crockpot to meal prep my dinners for the work week so I don't have to think about it so a recipe from you immediately jumped up on my list of recipes to try. Just had some tonight and it did not disappoint, this is 100% going into my rotation
I made this last night and it was amazing. This is for sure going to be added to my go to recipes. It's so versatile. And you were right, doing that extra step and blending the juices is totally worth it.
Just finished making this and it made me fall in love with my crockpot all over again. This is such an amazing recipe and will definitely be going into the rotation for easy weekday cooking.
What a clear way to communicate the recipe, love this video style!
This recipe motivated me to buy a crock pot. It came out so freaking good and it was so easy!! I'd love to see more slow cooker recipes from you- everything you share is just excellent!
I usually do a big crockpot something-or-other on Thursdays to use for easy meals going into the weekend (I work nights on Friday and Saturday). So this video came along at a pretty good time for me to give it a go this week! Nice.
What a wonderful recipe. Thanx!!!!
I made this today and long story short I would trust you with my life. You have single-handedly improved my cooking skills about 10-fold.
Made this for my family and it was a huge hit. Thanks for the recipe!
I have literally all of this already. Bless
Tried this over the weekend, absolutely slapped. Thank you shaq for this
Just made this for meal prep. Absolutely amazing flavor for not a ton of work.
You are genuinely the best RUclips channel of its ilk, and one of the best in general
Best recipe you have ever graced us with
Made this as meal prep for the next few days of work, and my gosh, it's so good! Thank you for providing such an amazing recipe.
I made this on Friday morning to be ready for Friday afternoon and dinner. Omg, this is a banger! I was looking for something easy, healthy, fits well in my macros AND is tasty AF. Win-win-win. This recipe is going in my regular rotation. Thank you!
Tried it last night - so good! Thank you!
This is such a great method and chicken tinga is such an easy way to make a bunch of great dishes easily, once you have a batch. I regularly make it similarly, the only slight difference is I just simmer the chicken and aromatics first in some salted water and/or whatever stock I have, then keep the resulting chicken broth and put the chicken in the fridge for later. Then I sweat some onion and garlic, add the tomato, chipotle, and whatever else I'm using and slow cook the chicken. It is an extra step, though not one that's very intensive or time sensitive and I end up with a bunch of really great chicken broth after. I often use some leftover chicken broth to simmer the next batch of chicken, and it just keeps getting richer.
Made this Sunday and it tastes even better today. Thank you Shaq, this is an excellent recipe!
I made it yesterday. It was phenomenal. Blending the residual braising sauce took this to the next level. Thanks Shaq!
Idk why my crockpot gives me the tingles like no other cooking gadget. The possibilities are so endless. The process is so effortless. The results are so impressive.
YES! Would love to see more slow-cooker / Crock-Pot recipes.. The master of the sub 7 minute food vid..
Literally just had this for dinner, crazy seeing you post a video about it, delicious! Had it with some sopita and rice!
i made this tonight for my very first crock pot recipe and had a few tacos. it was amazing especially with fresh cilantro. gonna be eating this batch for weeks!
Beautiful! I will try this. And, I love how you speak and your excellent writing.
You make the best videos, hands down. No bs, straight to the point, valuable information ❤
Yeah this stuff is straight fire. Thanks for another banger as always
First timer. Appreciate the brevity yet detailed delivery. Going to give this a try! Thanks!
I made this crock pot chicken tinga yesterday, it did not disappoint. In fact, my wife loved it to the point that she asserted that these were the best tacos we've ever had at home.
I, too, am part of the slow cooker in the summer gang. I hardly use it in the fall and winter because I prefer warming the house via oven and baking then. We can’t afford to heat up the house in the summer in SoCal because the energy costs are astronomical.
I will be making this delicious looking chicken recipe for sure. I love chicken thighs.
Great video yet again Shaq, thanks for sharing!
I love crock pot food. It’s definitely something I’ll actually make
Thank you so much for including the time for an electric pressure cooker! Definitely giving this a whirl next go!
Made the tacos tonight as suggested and they were very delicious. Will be making again. Thanks bossman
Just made this, it was extremely fast to make and extremely delicious.
I made this today and it is insane how good it is
Thank you for sharing !
I had been making something similar, but I’ll have to try out the added step with the blender. Thanks for the tip. Your videos have helped me a lot in the kitchen.
Finally made this recipe - holy god it is so good! Instant fave for the wife and I.
I just got a crockpot like yesterday this is a sign!!
I found a chicken tinga recipe a month ago and made it. The biggest difference is she had added 3 guajillo chillies and did whole tomatoes instead of diced. You're going to blend them anyways so why not. this is an insanely good recipe and I'll be making it more in the future.
Amazing as always!
Cotija is the best topping for a tinga taco. Personally, I like making burritos with tinga, refried black beans, crema, cotija and cilantro. 10/10
I've made another recipe for this before but always struggled with the braising liquid and felt bad about throwing it out but keeping it is a mess. I'm so excited to tweak the recipe and try the sauce! Thank you so much!
Alright, made this today for the first time. The chicken is quite good, but 100% the sauce you make/blend/simmer completes it. Absolutely outstanding
Tried this recipe, excellent, would cook again
First time I had tinga I used a tostada, lots of the sauce, sour cream, and avocado. Amazing. So excited to try it again!
My mom makes this at least once a week, it’s soooooo good
made it. delicious and spicy
made this recipe for tacos and it's amazing. super easy and great taste and texture
YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER
Yo I made this and it's bomb! definitely going to be making this more often! We loved it.
This recipe was great! We ended up using nearly the whole little can of chipotle and adobo and the spice level was good. So easy to make and can easily be doubled for larger families or more leftovers.
Just want to say that I appreciate the small table/infographic at 1:54. I know you have this in some videos, but it's crazy helpful for geeks like me who need something in a visual chat that's easy to follow.
I love chicken tinga. Thanks for this recipe. I have to try making it in the crockpot.
just stuck this on, been in the back of my mind for months and I've finally decided to try it, will update with results
Just made this after work today (saving time with an insta pot) and it’s a fantastic and tasty chicken. Def a recommend. Thank you for the chicken.
I've been struggling to make good shredded chicken for years. Made this in the Instantpot last night, best shredded chicken I've ever made, easy, cleanup wasn't bad. 10/10, will be making again.
A simple week night crockpot recipe that's versatile and plentiful? This ticks all my cooking recipe boxes!
Just made this, added it to tostadas with queso fresco, crema mexicana and avocado slices, it was so goodd.
Chicken Tinga is one of my all time favorites, but I've never thought to do it in a crock pot. After watching this I went straight to the store and bought some chicken and now my crock pot is working on some delicious dinner. Thanks bud!
Okay, I made this tonight in a dutch oven, and it was seriously amazing. Pretty cheap ingredients, it made a lot of food, and it was super simple. I accidentally left the skin on the thighs, but it was easy enough to remove the skin after it'd cooked, while shredding by hand. I will be making this again without a doubt.
Made this tonight and loved it! We used to make the Serious Eats recipe all the time for meal prep and this one will be replacing it. Thank you!!
I made this recipe in my InstantPot. I used the high setting for 25 minutes with a natural release. So good!!! And so much quicker than the crock pot. Thanks for the yummy recipe. I used 4 chipotle peppers and the blended sauce was nice and zippy.
Muir glenn is my go to tomatos in a can/Rotel. They're quite good and clean. Glad to see others like it also
I’m all about crockpot meals in the summer for the same reason as you - keeps the house cool! The meals tend to be very hearty but if I’m eating it in the AC I’m good.
it's been in there for an hour and it smells só great.
thanks shaq
Today is the 4th time I’ll be making this recipe. It’s an absolute smash hit with everyone who’s tried it and it’s silly easy to set off in the slow cooker in the morning. Gonna make fresh tortillas for the first time today to go with it. Thanks for the recipe!
