Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 -5 chicken thighs
1 tablespoon oil
garlic powder
salt & pepper (to taste)
1/2 cup flour (preferrably La Pina)
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 -3 tablespoons california chili powder
32 ounces water (for the sauce)

Steps:

  • In the 1 tbsp of oil place the chicken skin down, in a large sauce pan or frying pan. One large enough to make your sauce in later.Fry the chicken on both sides until skin is brown and slightly.
  • Season with salt, pepper,and garlic to your own taste,(Garlic being optional,I love it but others don't)
  • After chicken is done, set aside and let cool while you make the sauce. Then shred the chicken with a fork or by hand. Removing any veins or fat and skin from the chicken.
  • With the drippings in the pan from the chicken put your chili powder and flour, brown very slightly.(should be a smooth paste now if not add some oil,or if too oily add flour)
  • Remove from heat and add the water about 1/2 cup at a time while whisking to keep it a smooth paste. Once you have it smooth, return to heat and continue to add water and whisk add about 8 oz. of water then let cook for a few minutes, whisk then add more.
  • Repeat water and whisking and heating until it is a thick gravy.
  • Now you can add Salt, pepper, cumin and garlic to your own taste.
  • After you have the sauce to the desired consistency add the shredded chicken and serve with red rice and flour tortillas.
