1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon New Mexican chile powder
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano (or Italian dried oregano is fine)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, about 8 ounces each
1 ripe Haas avocado, diced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 lime, juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Three 6-inch blue or white corn tortillas
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 lime juiced (about 1 tablespoon)
Sprig fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat 2 cast-iron grill pans over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the ancho chile powder, New Mexican chile powder, oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, orange juice, lime juice and season with salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the canola oil and whisk. Put the chicken in the marinade, turning the chicken to coat both sides.
  • Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 more minutes; the juices should run clear and the meat thermometer should read 165 degrees F.
  • Meanwhile, for the salad: Put the avocado, onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, lime juice and olive oil in a medium bowl. Fold the ingredients with a rubber spatula, gently breaking up the avocado in the process.
  • To serve: Grill the tortillas on both sides until lightly marked and warmed through, about 10 seconds per side. Then fold in half and place on the side of a serving dish.
  • Place the chicken in the center of the serving dish and top with a scoop of the salad. Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice and garnish with a sprig of cilantro.

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
Large pinch crushed red pepper
4 garlic cloves, crushed
2 bay leaves
8 chicken drumsticks (2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds total)
1 scallion, thinly sliced
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, red pepper, garlic, bay leaves and 1/2 cup water in a large re-sealable plastic bag. Close and shake to combine the ingredients and dissolve the sugar.
  • Open the bag, add the chicken and reseal; shake to distribute the marinade around the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Adjust an oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Pour everything from the bag into a large Dutch oven or pot and arrange the chicken in a single layer. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, adjust the heat to low and cook, turning the drumsticks occasionally, until the chicken is tender and registers 165 degrees F in the deepest part of the leg, 25 to 30 minutes. Uncover the pot and transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Increase the heat and bring the remaining liquid in the pot to a boil. Cook until reduced and just slightly thinner than maple syrup, 7 to 9 minutes. Strain the sauce and discard the solids.
  • Meanwhile, broil the chicken until browned in spots, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a shallow bowl and pour the sauce over. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with rice.
