About the Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 chipotle peppers plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from 1 can chipotles in adobo)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for cooking

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

Step 1


Combine chicken, garlic, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, 3 tablespoons olive oil, cumin, white vinegar, salt, pepper, and honey in a large resealable bag. Seal bag and toss to coat thoroughly.  Refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight.


Step 2


Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).


Step 3


Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a little oil if necessary. Add chicken in one layer to skillet and cook, undisturbed, until chicken is deep golden brown and releases easily from the skillet, 5 to 7 minutes. 


Step 4


Flip chicken and transfer to the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let chicken rest 10 minutes before cutting.
