Cook chicken until dark golden brown on one side, about 5 minutes; turn chicken over and continue to cook until the underside is dark brown, another 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and transfer to oven. Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, but still juicy, about 8 to 10 minutes chicken should be165°F on a instant-read thermometer. Carefully remove pan from oven. Remove chicken to a cutting board, tent with foil, and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice chicken into 1/2-inch chunks.

• Heat the oil in medium heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 3 minutes longer. Add the chiles and cook until darkened on both sides, about 1 minute. Add the broth, bring to a boil and boil until the chiles are soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a blender, add the vinegar and 1 tablespoon water, let cool slightly and puree. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a grill or large grill pan over medium-high heat.

Brush some adobo sauce on the other side of the chicken. Turn the grill down to medium and set one side of the grill to indirect heat (see Cook's Note for instructions for the grill pan). Turn the chicken breast-side up, place over the indirect heat side of the grill and cover. Cook the chicken, basting with the extra adobo sauce every 20 minutes, until a meat thermometer registers an inner temperature of 165 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes.
