Ingredients:
- 1 Whole Chicken cut in pieces. (5-6 lbs)
- 4 Guajillo Dry Chilies
- 4-6 Puya Dry chilies
- 3-4 Chipotle chilies in adobo Sauce
- 1 Onion (in quarters)
- 1 Orange (peeled and cut in half)
- 3 Garlic Cloves
- 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple in juice
- 2 Tbs White Vinegar
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp Dry Oregano
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 5-6 lbs Whole Chicken
- 2 Cups Hot water
Remove the Stems from the dry chilies. Cut the dry Chilies in half and place them in a bowl. Pour about 2 cups of hot water over the dry chilies and let them soak in the hot water for at least 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, now place the chilies and all the rest of the ingredients (except the chicken) into the blender and blend on high for about 2 - 3 minutes or until well blended into a soft sauce, then taste the flavor, add more salt, pepper or dry oregano if needed. Once you are happy with the flavor, the sauce is ready.
Place the chicken pieces in a large container and pour the sauce over the chicken, make sure every single piece of chicken is well seasoned with the sauce, and marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. (You can marinate it overnight if you have time) (I used a whole chicken cut in pieces, but feel free to use whatever part of the chicken that you prefer, you can use all chicken breasts, thighs, legs, boneless and skinless or with bone in and skin on.)
After at least 4 hours, now cook the chicken in the slow cooker on low heat for 5 hours. After 5 hours, set the heat to high, and remove the chicken from the sauce, shred the chicken, sprinkle with a bit more salt and pepper, and place the shredded chicken back into the sauce and continue cooking it on high for 2 more hours.
After two hours, the chicken is ready to be serve. I will serve it on Tostadas, but feel free to make Tacos, Burritos, Sopes, Sliders, or whatever you want with this chicken, everything you do, will be amazingly delicious.
I garnish my Tostadas with chopped red Cabbage and chopped cilantro and chopped onion. Serve with your favorite sauce and that’s it!
Enjoy!
