San Marcos Chipotle Salsa Recipes

CHIPOTLE BLENDER SALSA

Steps:

• Pulse the onion and garlic a few times in a food processor or blender.
• Add remaining ingredients and continue pulsing until you've reached your desired texture.
• Adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Transfer salsa to mason jars, or container of choice, and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

SWEET AND SPICY CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400℉.
• Heat oil in skillet on medium heat. Salt and pepper each piece of chicken, as desired.
• Once oil is heated, add chicken pieces. Sear each side until golden, about 3-4 minutes each side. Remove to plate.
• While chicken is cooking, add all remaining ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together. Pour mixture into same skillet. Heat through, about 2 minutes.
• With tongs, pick up one of the chicken thighs and place it in the sauce skin side down to coat then turn it over with skin side up and leave it in the skillet. Repeat for the remaining pieces of chicken.
• Place entire skillet with chicken (uncovered) in oven and cook until the inside of the chicken reaches 165℉, about 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. About halfway, spoon sauce over the top to keep them from getting dry.
• Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving. Cover with as much sauce as desired and serve with a little bowl of sauce, if desired.
