The lime crema offsets the smoke and spice of the chipotles beautifully. Very easy to prepare and super tasty, give this one a try folks.

    The recipe I have used calls for poaching the thighs in water and resting in water for 30 mins. Keeps the thighs from drying out and makes the stock to add to the sauce.
    Also I just use two forks to shred the thighs and it takes around 30 seconds per thigh.

    In my long life, the best way I’ve found to cook chicken breasts and keep them juicy is by poaching them: I start them in cold water with aromatics of choice, then s l o w l y raise the temperature, without ever boiling, until internal temp of 150°, then cover & remove from heat to finish cooking in the hot liquid. Cool gradually, covered, to room temp. I usually serve this cold, but I see no reason it couldn’t be used in a hot recipe as long as it is reheated GENTLY.

    I have an immersion blender and it always worked OK. I bought a high powered blender to make milkshakes and keep reaching for that for curries and such. It isn't hard to clean; I just rinse it out and then put some hot water in there and turn it back on, and 99% of the gunk washes out. A bit more time with some soapy water and it's ready for the next bit of fun. My milkshakes never taste like curry, so I'm happy.
    That aside - this recipe looks really really good. Thank you for making it so simple. Hopefully in the next month or two I'll have fresh tomatoes again, and I will definitely try this! (Assuming I can wait that long)

  • @SeriesOfYouTubes
    @SeriesOfYouTubes 3 месяца назад

    Made Tinga with thighs awhile back and my Mexican wife was like, “I hate you, this is so much better than mine” Definitely the secret to better tinga… To minimize dishes, I use a Dutch oven to sear the thighs to get some fond, add the veggies, deglaze, then braise the thighs in the sauce for a one pot meal. Pan roasting sounds great though and would definitely be the move for big meals / leftovers though.

    Instead of cilantro, I find you can get the same effect by substituting a tablespoon or so of dishwashing detergent. Alas, I am one of the unfortunates who tastes mostly soap when eating cilantro. On a serious note, looks great and will have to give it try (possibly substituting basil for the cilantro).

    I wonder if you used chicken breast and cooked them in the sauce by simmering them, instead of cooking separately in the oven would work.. You could cut the chicken breast up into smaller pieces before simmering in the sauce and shred when done. I think it would add a nice flavor the the sauce and chicken. Might have to make a little more of the sauce to do this maybe make one and a half recipe of the sauce. Also you won't have to turn the oven on. Thanks for the recipe it looks really good!

    The gospel for tasty chicken - especially in stews or curries - is to use chicken thighs. Nothing wrong with chicken breast, but when doing something that is sitting in a sauce, the thigh is the way to go. This recipe, panang curry, you name it. So much more taste from the fat and you cannot overcook easily.
