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.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out bland. I think I'll add more cumin and chili powder next time.

The chicken was a little dry, but the flavors were amazing. I'll definitely try this again with some adjustments.
