Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons honey
4 large cloves garlic
4-5 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce* (I put frozen peppers directly into the blender)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 lbs chicken (breasts, thighs, drumsticks, bone-in or boneless)

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients, except chicken, into the blender or small food processor and puree for a few moments. Pour the marinade over chicken in an airtight container or large ziploc bag and shake to coat each of the pieces.
  • Place in the refrigerator and turn the chicken (or flip the bag) a couple times over the next few hours. I let mine marinate for about 6 hours.
  • When you are ready to cook the chicken, remove from the refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to cooking. Enjoy!

Time 18h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried chipotle chile pepper
1 ounce dried ancho chile pepper
½ cup water
½ red onion, cut into small chunks
4 cloves garlic
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
  • Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
  • Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.

CHIPOTLE MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN

This is a great, smokey, spicy marinade for chicken or firm fish. The marinade itself is very spicy, not to be used as a sauce. But the end result has just a little kick, not overpowering.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 garlic cloves
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon paprika
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons honey
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup olive oil
kosher salt to taste
4 skinless chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Place the chipotle peppers, garlic, cayenne pepper, paprika, black pepper, cumin, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, and olive oil into a blender. Puree until no pieces of garlic remain. Pour 1/4 of the marinade into a small dish and set aside. Rub a pinch of kosher salt into each chicken drumstick and place into a resealable plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, shake, and seal. Marinade at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook the chicken legs on the preheated grill until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Once the legs are completely cooked, baste well with the remaining marinade, cover the grill, and cook and additional 2 minutes per side to glaze.
