Steps:
- Place the chicken, onion, and garlic clove in a stockpot, and cover with water. Bring to a boil on medium high heat, (about 5-6 minutes) skimming off the foam that forms on the surface with a spoon. Reduce heat and add the celery and the parsley branch. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, lightly toast the peppers on a warm griddle, turning frequently to avoid them burning and having a bitter taste. This step will take seconds. Place in the bowl and cover them with warm water to soak after roasting for 15 minutes (or until softened).
- Now, lightly spray your griddle with PAM Cooking Spray and place the tomato, onion, and garlic to roast. Roast the tomatoes, onion and garlic, turning frequently until brown spots form all over them.
- Discard the soaking water of the pasilla peppers and place them in a blender with the roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, and one cup of chicken broth. Process until you have a very smooth sauce.
- Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and then carefully pour in the sauce. If you don't have a high-powered blender, maybe you'll need to pour the sauce using a strainer. If needed add more chicken broth to the sauce. Cook for about 5
- minutes until it starts to boil, reduce heat to simmer and add the Mexican Chocolate tablet to dissolve. Stir to avoid the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
- Remove chicken from the pot to slightly cool and discard parsley, onion, garlic, and celery from the broth. Add the chicken to the simmering sauce, season with salt and pepper, and keep simmering for another 5 - 8 minutes to allow all the flavors to combine.

Steps:
- For the chiles: The day before making the mole, remove the stems and seeds from the chiles; rinse the chiles and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large skillet, then add the chiles (in batches if necessary) and fry until glossy, about 4 minutes. Drain and place in a Dutch oven. Cover with 10 cups hot water, then add the vinegar and let stand overnight, covered.
- The next day, drain the chiles, then pat dry and reserve the soaking liquid.
- For the mole sauce: Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the oil and chiles to a wok or a very large saute pan and turn the heat on medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated, remove the chiles to a plate, leaving the oil in the wok.
- Add the blanched almonds, peanuts, sesame seeds, pepitas, black peppercorns, anise seeds, cloves and cinnamon stick to the wok and toss to combine and toast, about 2 minutes.
- Grill the tomatoes, corn tortillas, bolillo roll and onion until each are charred on both sides. Remove from the pan and add directly to the toasted spices. Add the cocoa nibs, raisins, Mexican chocolate, mint and parsley and stir to combine, allowing the chocolate to melt.
- Carefully add the wok ingredients to a blender and slowly blend. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with salt.
- Pour the sauce into a medium saucepan along with the chicken stock and 1/2 cup reserved chile liquid and turn the heat to medium. Once at a simmer, adjust the seasoning with salt.
- For the wings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and place an oven-safe rack on top of the foil. Coat the rack with cooking spray.
- Place the chicken wings in a large bowl along with the oil, cumin and smoked paprika and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the wings until coated. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake until crispy and golden brown, about 30 minutes.
- Place the wings in a very large bowl and cover with the mole sauce. Carefully toss until each wing is evenly coated.
- Add the wings to a platter and top with the parsley and pomegranate seeds.

Steps:

Add chicken thighs and 4 cups chicken broth, cover, and simmer until reduced, about 40 minutes.
- Heat 2 cups chicken broth in a saucepan until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes. Pour broth into a blender.
- Toast guajillo chiles and ancho chiles in a dry skillet on medium-high heat until hot and aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes. Place toasted chiles and tortilla strips in the blender with the hot broth.

- Cook tomatoes and tomatillos in a dry skillet on medium-high heat until soft and blackened, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Melt 2 tablespoons lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 sliced onion, 5 garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons cumin seeds; cook and stir until onions are soft and golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Add onion mixture to the blender with the chile mixture and blend until smooth.

Steps:
- 1. Cook all the chicken pieces in the chicken broth in a large pot until cooked through and tender. Cook the breasts 20 minutes then remove them to a bowl and cover, to prevent overcooking. Remove the thighs about 10 minutes later (or 30 minutes total), and put them in the bowl with the chicken breasts. Keep the broth warm over low heat until added to the sauce. 2. In a medium skillet, toast the anchos until aromatic and slightly blistered. Do not burn. Put the anchos in a medium bowl and cover with hot water. Soak about 20 minutes. 3. Preheat the oven to 325°. In the same skillet used for toasting the anchos, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the tomatoes, tortillas, bread, plantain, cloves, and canela. Cook, stirring, frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the skins blister and char lightly. 4. Transfer the skillet ingredients to a blender. Add 2 cups of the reserved chicken broth, the soaked anchos, and the chipotles. Blend until very smooth. Transfer the blended sauce to a large heavy ovenproof pan or casserole dish. 5. Cook, stirring, until the sauce comes to a boil, about 3 minutes. Add the piloncillo and 1 cup of the reserved broth. Cook, stirring, over low heat, until the sugar melts, about 5 minutes. The sauce should have the consistency of heavy cream. If too thick, add additional hot broth. Add salt. Add the cooked pieces of chicken to the pan, and transfer to the oven and cook until the chicken is no longer pink inside, and the sauce is simmering, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Steps:
- Cut the chickens into pieces, reserving the breasts. Place chicken pieces except the breasts in a deep saucepan over medium heat; add the onion, garlic, and chicken broth. Cover the pan and simmer 25 minutes.
- Cut the breasts into halves and add to the saucepan; simmer until the chicken breasts are no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove the chicken to a cutting board. Remove the skin and bones from the chicken; cut the meat into bite sized pieces.
- Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer, reserving the liquid and discarding the onion, garlic, and skimmed fat. If you have less than 3 cups of reserved liquid, add water to make 3 cups. If you have more than 3 cups, return to the pan and bring to a boil; cook until volume of liquid reduces to 3 cups.
- Combine the chili powder, almonds, banana, cinnamon, salt, tortilla pieces, sesame seeds, and pine nuts in a blender. Blend on low, slowly adding the reserved liquid in a stream until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture and remaining liquid into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter and chocolate; cook and stir until the butter and chocolate have melted. Stir the chicken pieces into the sauce; continue cooking until the chicken is heated completely through, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Put the chillies in a bowl and add enough boiling water to just cover. Leave to soften for 20 mins. If you can't find anchos, grill red peppers until they're really blackened and soft. Cool them, then peel and use as needed in the recipe, adding 1 tsp smoked paprika and a little extra chipotle to re-create the sweet, smoky flavour.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish, season the chicken, then brown on all sides. You may have to do this in batches so you don't overcrowd the dish. Remove to a plate. Add the onions to the dish and cook for 5 mins until softened. Add the spices and cook for 1 min until aromatic.
- Remove the chillies from their soaking liquid, reserving the liquid, and discard the stalks and seeds. Put in a food processor with 4 tbsp of the soaking liquid, the garlic and raisins. Whizz to a paste, then tip into the dish. Add the peanut butter, chipotle paste, tomatoes and 400ml water (fill up the tomato can and swirl to get all the tomato bits out). Return the chicken to the dish and season. Cover with a lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hr.
- Remove the chicken pieces to a plate. Using 2 forks, shred the meat and discard the bones. Return the chicken to the sauce, add the chocolate and continue cooking, uncovered, for 30 mins more. If the sauce looks like it's getting a little too thick, add some of the chilli soaking liquid or some water.
- Cook the rice following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the red onion in a small bowl. Add the lime juice and a pinch of salt. Leave to pickle until ready to serve. When the rice is cooked, add the coriander and lime zest and juice, and fluff up with a fork. Remove the mole from the heat, scatter with the pickled red onion and serve alongside the rice, with soured cream and lime wedges, if you like.
