Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thighs
- 3 to 5 chipotles in adobo sauce chopped (depends on your heat tolerance)
- 1 medium yellow onion rough chop
- 10 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 C worcestershire sauce
- 3/4 C apple butter
- *optional tsp of salt
Instructions
- Mince the garlic, chop the chipotles and rough chop the onion
- Combine the garlic, onion, chipotles, worcestershire and apple butter in a dish and mix.
- Put the chicken thighs in a bag and add in the marinade, squish and squoosh and massage the marinade and chicken thighs until they’re fully covered.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425
- Line a 9X13 dish with foil, spray it with cooking spray
- Place the thighs skin up in the dish and cover with the marinade
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes or until the internal temp is 165 F
- allow to rest for 5 minutes so the juices can go back into the meat (trust me, it’s worth the wait)
Notes
* a couple of recent recipe testers of this have said they've enjoyed it even more after making it with the addition of a tsp of salt to the marinade! Thank you Jill and Daddynuke for the suggestion!
