COPYCAT CHIPOTLE® CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
• Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
• Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill with top and bottom plates for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut into strips.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Fry the onion and garlic in the oil in a deep, wide frying pan until soft. Add the chipotle paste (use 1 tbsp for a mild flavour and 2 tbsp for a hotter, stronger one). Stir and cook for 1 min, then add the tomatoes and cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 mins with the lid half on. Stir to make sure it doesn't get too dry.
• Add the chicken and cook for 10 mins or until cooked through, turning once. Scatter with coriander and serve with rice and soured cream.

CHIPOTLE BBQ CHICKEN WITH POTATOES AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-low heat.
• Cut out back bone from each chicken with kitchen shears or sharp knife. Open chickens butterfly-style.
• Mix barbecue sauce, peppers and garlic until blended. Combine potatoes and onions in medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup barbecue sauce mixture; toss to coat. Spoon onto 4 sheets heavy-duty foil; fold to make 4 packets.
• Grill chickens 15 min.; turn. Add packets; grill 25 to 30 min. or until chickens are done (165ºF) and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning occasionally and brushing chicken with remaining barbecue mixture for the last 15 min. Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packets. Cut up and serve one of the chickens with the cooked vegetables. Cool remaining chicken, then cover and refrigerate to use to prepare BBQ Chicken Arepa Melts another night.
