How to Make Chipotle Chicken
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- Combine chipotle peppers (with adobo sauce), orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a blender. Blend until smooth.
- Score chicken legs or thighs to allow for better marinade penetration.
- In a large bowl, pour the chipotle marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer.
- Place each piece of marinated chicken in a separate piece of aluminum foil. Top each with 2 tablespoons of marinade and a few slices of onion.
- Wrap the foil tightly around the chicken to create individual packets.
- Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Serve immediately with rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
