- Here is one way I like to make chicken tamales. With the cooler weather in my area and the holiday season, it's the perfect time for tamale making. I love to give tamales as gifts or make a small batch for dinner. This recipe is simple and I think its a good place to start.

3 1/2 lbs to 4 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 tbls bouillon powder (or sub with just salt to taste)

1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 bay leaf
1 tsp black pepper

NOTE: Cook time and amount of tamales vary. I made 3 dozen easily with some masa left over. It all depends on your preferred ratio of masa to meat filling and tamale size. I make mine on the thinner masa smaller tamale size.

Regarding the size of your tamales: As my Mom always says-- "If you criticize the cook, you just volunteered to do it next time."
Lol! Yes! I need this on a plaque in my kitcgen. 😀👍
Bob Rees I love that!
Yeah learn to cook so i dont have to lol
PERIDOT!!!!
I just made these today and they are TO DIE FOR! definitely the best. I didn’t have a sieve, but I managed to make it work- I just put a strainer over the measuring cup for the chicken drippings. And I didn’t have a big pot so I just used my biggest one, put foil over the tamales and let it steam that way- it took about 2 1/2 hours total.
I’ll bet they taste delicious. My sister is making tamales tonight for delivery tomorrow. She’s really good at it. At Christmas she’s made up to 300 dozen. Now she’s doing fancy ones, with cream cheese, jalapeño, bacon. She won a trophy for those. 👍
Patty Pooh does your sister ship orders?
Does she ship?
I was wondering if she would share her recipe... That would be so awesome 😃
What state does she live in ?
She just adds cream cheese jalapeno and bacon
I've watched so many tamales videos and this is by far my favorite. I know it will take time but you make it look so easy and gave tips I'd never heard before. This will definitely be the video I use as a guide. Thank you so much!
MRS RACHEL AS A WONDERFUL CHEF IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU DO A MOLE RECIPE VIDEO . I JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS I JUST SUBSCRIBED AND I ENJOY EVERYONE THAT I HAVE WATCHED. YOU ARE A WONDERFUL CHEF, THAT MAKES ME WANT TO WATCH ALL OF THEM IN ONE DAY . LOL LOL 😊 IT IS 1:21 am AND I'M STILL WATCHING SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS . I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE HAS EVER TRIED TO MAKE A MOLE RECIPE . I GUESS IT'S VERY HARD TO MAKE . I DON'T KNOW BUT IF YOU DO IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU COULD LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WILL MAKE ONE . THANK YOU KIND LADY. . YOU ARE A WONDERFUL CHEF TO WATCH AND TO TEACH THE PEOPLE . THANK YOU AGAIN MARY O ❤️💛💚🤩🥰🤩
I enjoy watching you because you are very easy to follow. You make everything look so simple. Thanks!
I just started watching your tutorials. I hope u feel better and I'm so glad the trolls did not discourage you to continue making tutorial videos. I really like your videos. My dad made all of these recipes and I miss him and the food brings back great memories, your cooking is similar to his, he was born in Mexico and became a chef in the United States, Thank you for taking the time to show how it's done! 😊
Thank you! I love making videos and I appreciate your kind words. I too miss my Dad in the kitchen. It's been 2 years since his passing and I think of him a lot when I cook. He was the biggest critic...lol! :)
@ σε όλους
I made these last night for the first time. I do have to say they're a labor intensive. A mistake I made was not taste testing the meat before I wrapped my tamales. All guajillo peppers are not the same. I anm using pepper sauce on these to spice them up a bit. But the recipe worked out fine. Now I can make my own chicken tamales. Thumbs up
Love this tutorial! I watch it everytime I make tamales. She is so thorough for the first time you make tamales and they are delicious!
Okay I typed in "how to make tamales chicken", your video was first and I am soooooo glad I clicked! My neighbor Anna Rosa used to make us tamales and I was hooked. After we moved my wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday one year and I said Anna Rosa's tamales, she ended up seeing her daughter at out local mall one day and mentioned that's what I wanted and her mom was so excited that that was what I wanted she ended up making me a whole batch!! Anyway I am going to try and make these myself, I loved your video, it is very detailed and also I like the tips you give about the masa. I will let you know how they turn out. Big thumbs up and subscribed!
Omg your videos make me wanna start cooking again. Ever since my mom passed 3 years ago I've been wanting to make tamales in her memory and your recipe is very similar to hers. Thank you.
Oh gosh, sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I am so glad you found a recipe similar to hers. After my Dad passed 2 1/2 years ago, I find myself wishing I could learn to make his smoked brisket. I am in the works to teach myself. I think the learning process will be a good way to remember him. Thank you for watching and leaving a nice comment. :)
I really appreciate how clean oriented you are about rinsing things off twice and cleaning the ingredients your using. Thank you.
This looks so easy to make but a lot a work to do but I'm gonna try this recipe this week and make it and freeze some for Christmas dinner I just finish last night making homemade pastels and that's for Christmas as well. I'm not a Hispanic person. I'm a American black women with Rican son and my boyfriend show me how to cook lots of Caribbean dishes of food so I been making all kinds of food. But I never seen a video on how to make homemade tamales.. now I seen it and yes definitely will be making it. Thank for this vlog.i been waiting in it for such along time. God bless you..
Awesome recipe. The sweetest thing is the sound of an angel playing in the background while you're cooking.
As a gringa, with little to no experience with latin dishes, I find your videos so helpful and calming. I finally get to make delicious, flavorful food to WOW my hispanic hubby. Thank you! :)
I love Mexican food but don't know how to make any of it. I am so glad I found your channel
Made these today and they were excellent! My Mexican hubby loved them and ate 7 of them right away!
My friends wife makes them for every year for my birthday. I figured they were time consuming, but wow, I had no idea. I’ll eat them slower next time. Lol
Richard Palk yes lol. My mother makes about 200 tamales ebery christmas. We start about 10am and the tamales are done and ready to eat about around 3pm. After cooking about 2 hours.
Takes us 6 women 3 hours to make them.
Not including the meat prep the day before that takes about 3 hours plus the chili making.
That's awesome.... what do you make her for her birthday???
Yes girl yes. I'm definitely trying this!! P.s thank you for not deleting your mistake. It's just another great tip for us!!
EXCELLENT tutorial! BTW: I'm glad you took some time to spend with your family (loved hearing the tiny, happy voices in the background), but I've missed your videos.
My cousin taught me how to make tamales but I alway have to refresh my memory. Thank you. This is a great video.
Ur recipe description is the best! Very helpful
I appriciate you being so honest with us. My mouth was watering the whole video. We are ordering tamales wednesday for family dinner can't wait. Thank you for sharing.
Wow Gochujang you are the Only person who doesnt add Fluid to you Crock Pot! Thats sooo Awesome cuz you havent ever Burned anything! I love it!
I learn through my mistakes and I remember when I was worried about meat burning. I would add water and by the end of it, I would end up with way too much liquid. 😂
Gochujang Mamá well you did an Excellent job and the rest of your Tamales are Awesome! I learned a lot about Tamales and other Mexican Quizine when I lived in Guadalajara, Jalisco and I sooo love all kinds! Thank you so much for Sharing my Friend! 😃 And Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you! 😊
You are an excellent Teacher. Thank you very much!
I watched your video 2 years ago and saved it because your video was easily explanatory and showing each step helped alot. Each time its gotten easier, yet I still come and view video to make sure I didn't miss a step. Lol!
I am attempting to make these tomorrow.
I'm tired of trying to find who has the best tamales in town. Your videos have helped me feel like I can do it!
Thank you! You explain everything so well!
I use to make beef tamales with my adopted Grandma years ago. I don't eat beef but enjoy chicken. I have never attempted to make tamales for myself but your way of explaining everything has got primed to do so.. You, Rock!!
I'm eating everything on the corn husk... Bugs too! Lol
🤣
They just all flavor my grandma use to say. 🤣
Extra protein.lol
Well, protein is important! LOL! 🐛
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg! This recipe is amazing. This was my 1st time making tamales. My family absolutely enjoyed them. Thank you so much.
I am making them for the first time ever this year, I just finished making the meat, taste test … so yummy, can’t wait for the finished result, wish me luck. You recipe makes it easy to follow step by step. Thank you
Omg this is so perfect for the holidays..
You said it.. and your right..
Yay! Less Masa, more filling! Thank you for this!
hey, its november 2021, as a single boomer this videos are very helpful. 1. my kids and i get together and cook in the kitchen using your videos and 2. although i'm a senior, I STILL DATE and these videos make me look like a chef (insert huge lol emoji)
Omg do I remember when I was about 8 eating one I fell in love with them only one man on the Conner would sell them this looks Delicious
One of my favorite foods...There was a lady near a house we stayed at in San Diego who had a cart that she brought around in the evenings with homemade tamales. So delicious.
My new favorite channel! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes and very easy-to-follow directions.
Omg yes I’m gonna use this exact recipe I’m so excited to attempt this all day process lmao
My mouth is watering watching this.
More happy memories of my month in Mexico. Fantastic food, lovely people, great country.
Wow!! you give me great confidence! thanks for taking time to simplify the whole process!! still being so precise!! keep up the great work!!👍👍👍👍🔥
Thank you so much for posting this video!! Both my husband and I love tamales, but we don't live in an area where they're readily available (or they're just not like how my family makes them). Your recipe looks exactly like what we enjoy! Will definitely have to give it a try for the holidays. Again, thanks! :)
Thanks for showing some of the common mistakes even very seasoned cooks can make, it was incredibly useful and gave the whole video a much more at-home rustic feel. This was a great video.
I been looking for this one this is a great way to cook tamales
That looks amazing , and really high quality video work. I can respect how much work goes into tamales. What a tradition. Great job!!
I tried them and they tast soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good
Thank you for the recipe.Looks good!
We made this last year for Christmas eve and will be doing so this year, thank you for sharing!
I'm from New Mexico and i have never learned how to make tamales, looks easy, just time consuming..thank you for posting this video, me and some friends are gonna try this before Christmas!
I need to make my own tamales it is definitely a labor of love! Thanks for your recipe!
Very nice and hygienic way to make these tamales and good simple editing on the video, props to u
I swear our families must be from the same area. This is how my grandma made tamales and unless my mother makes them, I can't find them ANYWHERE! Everyone likes those bricks of masa. Since mom is getting older I think I'm gonna have to be the tamale maker this year! Loved the vid!
Wow!! I love your video and it's definitely a keeper! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us your skills, talents and wonderful recipes!! I can't wait to try this tamale recipe on my off day!😍
OMG! Why am I just seeing this!!!! I have been struggling with the masa not spreading easily. Now I know what to do.
😄
😱 I can’t believe I was today days old when I realized: Mexico has hallacas too!!
I’m on a quest now: stew in dough cooked in a leaf around the world! ☺️ 🧳
Thanks for this lovely video. The high production value made it feel very educational but your honesty made it feel homey. 🥰
I refer back to this video every time I make tamales. It’s my third time today ;)
Thank you so much for your great tutorial on how to make tamales. I've always wanted to make them but never got the chance but now I can, now that I have time, now I'm retired. I drove taxi for 10 years & my clients always gave me tamales for Christmas, I sure miss them.
Again thank you.
I'm so glad you're back. I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you for your easy to understand step by step cooking Tamales. And I also love your cleanliness technique.
I love this! well done. Very well put together and commentated as well.
Can you show how to make cheese and Jalapeño tamales? I love those...
I have never made Tamales but I've eaten plenty. When I was a kid my Daddy would stop at the local tamale wagon in the square and get tamales to eat in the movie theatre. Such good memories. Now, I am going to be the maker of the best tamales next to you and Angel Gavito.
Awesome video! My family made these when I was a kid, makes nostalgic
Another great recipe! Trolls are a pain, don't let them get you down. You are doing great content, keep on going.
I am indian in Texas .. I love tamales .. need to give this a try.
Wow! Have to try these, my Mom loved tamales. They will remind me of her. Great memories!
Omg! These Tamales are perfect!!! Thanks so much for sharing this. My family loves them and now I'm excited that I don't have to wait on others to make them and I know what ingredients are in there as myself and my son are allergic to pork with includes lard. New sub and customer because I will be purchasing your cook book!
These look AMAZING! thank you for such a thorough video on how to make these!!
Once again you have inspired me to try something new. I never thought I could make tamales-- looked too overwhelming! After watching this video- I'm totally going to do it!! Thanks!

I just subscribed to your channel! Omg I've just binged most of your videos! You have a beautiful family and won me over! Thank you for the recipes!

Kimberly Maldonado. 😍🙋
I love that you boiled the corn husks first. I love tamales, but the husks are always a little gross coming out of the package.
Dang girl.....you sure can cook!!!!!!=)
Thank you so much for sharing. You had me the moment you mixed the masa with your hands.
I love your channel. Everything is so authentic.
*drools*
Thanks. Looks amazingly delicious.
Watching this made my tummy growl. I will try this with my daughter's this Christmas break. Keep up the great work.
Great video...I'm making them now!
I'm going to make tamales based from your pork tamales video! Was hooked from that video and watching your videos! I'm half Korean and half Puerto Rican and was born in base in Seoul. I like your Korean foods videos as well! Happy holidays!
I love your channel! Love your cooking videos and family life! I hope you feel better!!!😍😍
Looks so yummy. I'm so hungry. I can't wait to get into my pozole when it's done. Thank you for sharing
This is a great recipe. This is how I make mine but I make pork tamales and queso con jalapeño. I can’t wait to make mine in a few weeks. ❤️
I also use fresh masa from the tortilleria.
From Houston, Texas And Love Your Recipes. I'm A Casserole Girl Myself And Love Spices. The Only Thing I Have Not Tried Making Are Tamales. I Will Be Trying Your Method. Thanks.
I love watching your videos! I'm going to try this recipe next. Thanks
We love this recipe! Thank you so much for video. 🙌😁

Hey! I wanted to comment on your next video but comments are disabled. So I'll take this opportunity to tell you how awesome I think you are! Your recipes remind me of San Antonio which I had to move away from and miss so much. Living in northern CA leaves me wanting for this type of food and now I can cook it thanks to you! Feel better and keep being awesome.
Those chicken tamales looked wonderful, I was drooling. I enjoy watching you cook, your voice is very relaxing. I'm now a new subscriber. Thank you.
👍...Made the Tamales just like Mom❤.
Making your recipe right now, house smells so good, can't wait until they're finished!
tamales can be tough to make... a lot of work. but as ALWAYS, you motivate me to not be too scared to give those recipes a try.... Thanks for sharing!!! It's been a while, but I know you're busy with your boys Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!
Thank you Lisa! Yes I have been crazy busy with personal family stuff and next year looks to be a busy year for us. I appreciate you and wish you a Happy Holidays! 😊💖
I am making tamales this week and glad I found your video. I like your style and I like my tamales similar to yours (small tamales with thinly spread masa and finely shredded meat}. I am preparing the meat and sauces tonight for green chili chicken as well as pork with red chili sauce. I will make the dough and tamales tomorrow. Thank you for refresher course on cooking times. I always forget the amount of work involved because when you gotta have a tamale you just gotta have one!
I bought. Masa. Prepared already. 6lbs of it. And. I got. About 4 dozen. With a little bit of mass left over. I had no idea. What to do with it. I made my tamales Verde con pollo. Oh yes I made some with cheese some with cream cheese. I cooked on low heat 65 minutes. I vote for masa that comes in a bag masa mix it has better flavor. Thank you for your recipe..
This is a great recipe. This is how I make mine but I make pork tamales and queso con jalapeño. I can’t wait to make mine in a few weeks. ❤️
Best video ever thank you for showing every way and I got the same instant masa base as you .
I have been looking for a really good tamale recipe and I just know this is delicious just like all your dishes that I have tried everyone is delicious you want it again and again
