Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs
3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
3 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Ingredient info: Ancho chile powder is available at Latin markets and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Toss chicken with ancho chile powder, cumin, and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with a thin layer of oil. Working in batches, place thighs in skillet in a single layer (do not crowd). Cover and cook until a crust forms, about 5 minutes. Turn; cook, uncovered, until thighs are just cooked through, 3-4 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter; let rest for 5 minutes.
  • Cut chicken into 1/2" cubes. Transfer with any accumulated juices to a medium bowl. Season with salt. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Let cool slightly. Cover; chill. Rewarm before serving.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra cumin and ancho chili powder, and it was much better. I also served it with a side of sour cream, which helped to balance out the flavors.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it was delicious. The sauce is really flavorful and the chicken is nice and moist.

This dish was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
