Categories     main-dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup ketchup
2 to 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 (12-ounce) bottle dark ale
1 tablespoon hot sauce, about 8 dashes
2 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for garnish
12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the Basic Tomato Sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, ale, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat a large oven proof skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until well-browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Add the prepared BBQ sauce making sure to cover all the chicken pieces. Add 1 cup of water if more liquid is needed to cover. Place the skillet into the oven and bake until the chicken easily falls off the bone and the sauce is slightly thickened and caramelized on top, about 25 to 30 minutes. Serve hot or serve cold as leftovers.
  • In a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar, and season with salt, to taste.
  • Let extra sauce cool completely and then seal in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.

NEW MEXICO RED CHILE SAUCE



New Mexico Red Chile Sauce image

Red chile is a staple of the New Mexican and West Texan diet, and this recipe is my grandmother's recipe. When I make it, it reminds me of the smells of her cooking in her kitchen, fresh corn tortillas, beans, and red chile peppers. You can kick up the spiciness by adding more arbol chile pods.

Time 43m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil
20 New Mexico dried red chile pods, stemmed and seeded
10 dried chile de arbol peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 quart chicken stock, or more if needed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a heavy saucepan with oil; add chile pods. Toast over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes.
