Description
Juicy, smoky, and full of bold chipotle flavour, Moe’s Adobo Chicken is the ultimate upgrade from plain grilled chicken. Perfect in bowls, burritos, tacos, or salads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, and all the spices.
- Add the chicken thighs and toss until coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better).
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden outside and cooked through inside.
- Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
Use chicken thighs for juicier results. Please don’t skip the vinegar. It brings the signature tang. Want it spicier? Add crushed red pepper or cayenne.
