CHICKEN, AGUASCALIENTES STYLE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 425°. In a medium bowl, toss the potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and put in an ovenproof baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and pepper. Roast until golden brown and tender, 40 to 45 minutes. 2. Trim excess fat from the chicken. Add the remaining salt or more, as desired. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken about 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned on both sides but not cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate. 3. Add the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring until limp, about 3 minutes. Add the chorizo and cook, breaking up into small pieces, until lightly browned. Add the garlic, tomatoes, lime juice, oregano, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves. Cook, stirring, until the juices reduce, 4 to 5 minutes. 4. Return the chicken to the pan and add the chicken broth. Stir to coat the chicken with the sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the chicken is very tender, 30 to 35 minutes. To serve, arrange the chicken on a large platter. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and scatter the jalapeños on top. Surround the chicken with the roasted potatoes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
