☕️ About this recipe:
Mexican Chicken Mole (aka Mexican Chocolate Chicken) is a rich and decadent dish featuring aromatic spices and dark chocolate. Despite a “long” ingredient list, it’s surprisingly simple to make. You can even prepare the chocolate mole sauce in advance, or freeze for that next Mexican dinner.
Our wandering adventures haven’t quite led us to Mexico (yet!), but that doesn’t mean we can’t do a little kitchen adventuring at home in the meantime.
Traditional mole sauces call for a range of different types of chillies including pasilla/negro, puya, ancho and mulato. To keep things simple we’ve modified this recipe to make use of regular large dried red chillis (or small if you can’t find the big ones) since that's what we can most easily access at home. However, if you can get your hands on traditional chillies, we definitely encourage your own chilli mole experiments!
So with a little experimentation, we created a simplified version which is easy (and quick) to make for a mid-week dinner. The hardest part is chopping the onion – the rest is left to the blender and saucepan!
???? Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1.5 kg chicken we used 4 wings and 4 legs, you can also use thighs or breast.
½ cup vegetable oil

WHEAT BEER CHILI WITH MEXICAN CHOCOLATE
The Super Bowl is here and we’re making my Wheat Beer Chili with Mexican Chocolate, the popular chili recipe we made on the food truck. There are lots of chili’s out there and I tried hard to make mine a unique chili recipe. This is a super easy chili recipe with a few things that make it super unique and flavorful. Mexican chocolate gives the chili this awesome mole flavor and the wheat beer adds a nice balance to the richness. If you’re looking for Super Bowl party recipes, this chili is a must. I make my chili with no beans but it's a delicious sweet and spicy chili that was a big hit on the cart. You will see Cholula Hot Sauce featured throughout this recipe. Full disclosure, this video itself is not sponsored but I do have a relationship with them to do work on Instagram.
