How to Make Mexican Chicken Adobo
- In a large pot, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken legs and thighs, cooking until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with the chopped tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Sauté for around 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the seeded and chopped guajillo, ancho, and chipotle chiles, along with salt, coriander powder, cumin, thyme, oregano, ground cloves, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth and apple cider vinegar. Place the browned chicken back into the pot, ensuring it's submerged in the mixture.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
