    I've tried several of your recipes Brian, and they were all good, but this one was special. I'm typically not a huge fan of chipotles, but the flavor of them is perfectly balanced in this dish. The lime crema offsets the smoke and spice of the chipotles beautifully. Very easy to prepare and super tasty, give this one a try folks.

    The recipe I have used calls for poaching the thighs in water and resting in water for 30 mins. Keeps the thighs from drying out and makes the stock to add to the sauce.
    Also I just use two forks to shred the thighs and it takes around 30 seconds per thigh.

    Made Tinga with thighs awhile back and my Mexican wife was like, “I hate you, this is so much better than mine” Definitely the secret to better tinga… To minimize dishes, I use a Dutch oven to sear the thighs to get some fond, add the veggies, deglaze, then braise the thighs in the sauce for a one pot meal. Pan roasting sounds great though and would definitely be the move for big meals / leftovers though.

    In my long life, the best way I’ve found to cook chicken breasts and keep them juicy is by poaching them: I start them in cold water with aromatics of choice, then s l o w l y raise the temperature, without ever boiling, until internal temp of 150°, then cover & remove from heat to finish cooking in the hot liquid. Cool gradually, covered, to room temp. I usually serve this cold, but I see no reason it couldn’t be used in a hot recipe as long as it is reheated GENTLY.

    Instead of cilantro, I find you can get the same effect by substituting a tablespoon or so of dishwashing detergent.
