CHICKEN CHILE RELLENOS



Chicken Chile Rellenos image

From the famous Reata restauant in Fort Worth, TX. ("Reata-Legendary Texas Cuisine" cookbook.) With a large enough pan, you can use three whole chickens (leave skin on) in place of purchasing the legs and thighs separately. If you're short on time, go ahead and use two store-bought rotisserie chickens in place of the Shredded Chicken. Drizzling the top of each relleno with some of our Creme Fraiche and a scoop of guacamole will mellow the pepper just enough to keep from setting your mouth on fire. Believe it or not, some folks evn batter and fry these. If decadence is your thing, just dredge in some egg and buttermilk wash and seasoned flour a few times ti make a generous crust before your fry. Regardless, we say serve with your favorite Spanish rice and some Ranch-Style Beans.
