This is my version of [[mole poblano]] chicken or [[chocolate]] [[chilli]] chicken.
I prefer to use [[chicken]] legs because of the extra flavour you get when meat is cooked on the bone.
I have been messing around with the ingredients for the [[mole]] so it's not totally authentic. Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients - the only thing I would not use is sweet [[milk]] chocolate!
I did actually have [[tomatillos]] that I grew in a Grow-bag with my tomatoes. They were pretty meagre but it's nice to put them to a good use.  Remove the outer covering (husks) before use.
This was a total success.  Next time I would make double the sauce and freeze the other half as I think the [[mole]] would be good on steak too!

This is my version of mole poblano chicken or chocolate chilli chicken.

I prefer to use chicken legs because of the extra flavour you get when meat is cooked on the bone.

I have been messing around with the ingredients for the mole so it's not totally authentic. Don't be afraid to experiment with the ingredients - the only thing I would not use is sweet milk chocolate!

I did actually have tomatillos that I grew in a Grow-bag with my tomatoes. They were pretty meagre but it's nice to put them to a good use. Remove the outer covering (husks) before use.

This was a total success. Next time I would make double the sauce and freeze the other half as I think the mole would be good on steak too!

Best recipe review

Sounds weird!

4.7/5

However, it tastes really good. Just don't use Cadbury's Dairy Milk for this!

  14. Enjoy Mexico's national dish!

Serving suggestions

Serve with plain boiled rice, guacamole and sour cream or creme fraiche and maybe a few tortillas and a green salad.

Chef's note

I could not get Mexican chocolate so used Green & Blacks organic chocolate, which is bitter and not too sweet. After all, the dish has raisins or sultanas which have a little sugar anyway.

Recipe too complicated?

It's not really, but if you really can't be doing with all these ingredients, I have seen bottles of mole sauce in some of the larger supermarkets.

Try it out with the pre-made sauce, then come back and make the real thing!
