Pollo a la diabla is one of those Mexican dishes that’s bold, spicy, and delicious. It’s made with tender chicken simmered in a rich, fiery salsa made from a mix of dried chilies and spices.
INGREDIENTS:
2 pound bone-in chicken
3-4 guajillo chilies
6 (or more) chile de arbol
2 chipotle in adobo peppers
3 tomatoes, medium size
1 small onion
2 garlic cloves, peeled
about ½ tsp ground cumin
about 3 tablespoons olive oil (or you favorite cooking oil)
salt and pepper, to taste
METHOD
Clean the guajillo chilies. Remove the stems, cut them open, and take out the seeds and veins.
Heat a griddle or comal over medium heat and lightly toast the chilies on both sides for just a few seconds, until fragrant.
Transfer them to a bowl, cover with hot water, and let them soak for about 10–15 minutes to soften.
Meanwhile, roast the tomatoes, onion, and garlic on the griddle until they’re soft and nicely charred all around.
Once ready, blend the tomatoes, onion, garlic, soaked guajillos, chipotle peppers, cumin, and about 1½ cups of water until the sauce is smooth.
Heat a bit of olive oil in a large braising pan or deep skillet. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they’re golden on all sides.
Pour in the diabla sauce, making sure the chicken is mostly covered—add a splash of water if needed.
Taste for salt, bring everything to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook over medium heat for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken is nice and tender.
Uncover the pan, turn the heat up, and let the sauce reduce a bit so it thickens.
Give it a final taste for salt, then turn off the heat and serve!
