  • Today, I will show you an easy way to achieve tender savory chicken tamales. Making tamales is always a labor of love. There are many steps and it takes hours of time, but bringing the family together is worth it. Some make tamales to share and celebrate the holidays with family and friends. Some sell tamales to support their livelihood. With that said, this recipe can be doubled, tripled, and quadrupled should you need to make a large amount. I am more than sure there are hundreds of ways to make tamales and everyone has a family recipe. This is just a simple way to make them. I tried to simplify it for the beginner cook or those who want to easily make tamales at home.
    Welcome to the Simply Mamá Cooks RUclips Channel! I am a Mom to a blended Korean / Mexican American family who loves to share what I cook in my home. I am still learning and enjoying the process of making home-cooked food.

    31 May 2024 @SimplyMamaCooks As you know, I cooked a small batch of this recipe last weekend. Had to complete all the little steps slowly over 2 1/2 days because I don’t have any family members to help and can’t stand on my feet too many hours due to being a viejita. I must emphasize that the flavor profile in the chili puree is the absolute best. Reserving enough if that puree and mixing it with the masa makes the masa almost stand on its’ own for flavor. It’s so good, it makes a person feel like smashing every tiny masa crumb on the emptying dinner plate, with the back of a fork, together to continue savor every “drop and crumb” of the luscious tamales. You are such a great home chef and virtual culinary instructor, over the past 7+ years, you really changed my life in the kitchen. For all that, I’m forever grateful. Ojalá que toda esta muy bien de usted y su familia. Puede la paz del Señor que vaya con toda de su familia para siempre. 😎♥️🙏🏼💃🏼

She wanted women to enjoy more and work less. She believed you would still put all your Love into it you just did not need to drain yourself all at once I wished she had learned this younger I might have had her here past age 63. I miss her smart & loving advice every day! It is women like You that will help us to live a longer life. Which is the goal for us & our families!!! I love your smart short cuts they are not lazy….

    I make tamale every year during Christmas. I would defiantly recommend using lard. I mean they will still be delicious otherwise, but just not as delicious lol. The best leftovers too because you can just throw them into the microwave from frozen with a small sprinkle of kosher salt. I'd also recommend pan frying one so good!

Thank you so much for your clear, detailed instructions and excellent demonstrations. Your book sounds great, too, so will give that a try, too! You are a fine teacher!

    the best tamales i've ever had was a friends mom who made homemade pork tamales from the pigs head, jaw, etc they raised on a farm. they made everything from scratch. still haven't found anything close. this looks pretty close to how they made them. i agree though. chicken thighs are so much juicier and easier to cook with than chicken breast.
