Chicken Adobo Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken: Combine the oyster sauce, garlic, sriracha, sesame oil and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat and massage the mixture into the chicken.
• Heat a large stockpot over high heat and add some canola oil. Add the chicken mixture to the pot and saute until the chicken is brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the vinegar and soy and stir, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium/low and place the lid on the pot. Cook and simmer for 35 minutes, then cut the heat. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then pull to make tacos (or serve over rice). Reserve 1/2 cup of the adobo sauce for the bok choy.
• For the tacos: Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the bok choy until slightly wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the 1/2 cup reserved adobo sauce and cook for 1 more minute.
• Place some of the pulled chicken onto a warm tortilla and top with some bok choy and crumbled chicharrones. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Steps:

• Put chicken thighs in a saucepan and cover with 3 cups water. Add scallions, bay leaf, thyme, peppercorns, allspice, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Simmer for 30 minutes, then remove chicken and cool. Shred chicken with your fingers, discarding chicken skin and bone. Strain broth and reserve. You should have about 2 cups shredded chicken.
• Put olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced yellow onion, season with salt and cook until softened and a bit browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cumin and cook for 1 minute more. Add chopped chipotle chile and adobo sauce and stir to combine. Add shredded chicken, salt lightly and stir to coat. Add chicken broth and simmer for 2 or 3 minutes, until sauce has thickened somewhat. Keep warm.
• Heat the tortillas over steam or by your favorite method, keeping them soft and pliable.
• Build the tacos quickly: Put a spoonful of the saucy chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with a teaspoon of chopped white onion, a few slivers of serrano chile, some radish and avocado slices, a teaspoon of queso fresco and a teaspoon of crème fraîche. Add a few cilantro springs and a small pinch of oregano. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, combine the first 6 ingredients. Add chicken; refrigerate, covered, 20-30 minutes. Drain, reserving marinade. Pat chicken dry., In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Stir in water and reserved marinade. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink and sauce is slightly reduced, 20-25 minutes. Discard bay leaf. If desired, serve chicken with cooking sauce.
