Honey Chipotle Chicken Tacos & Charred Corn

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 chipotle pepper (from a can, packed in adobo sauce), finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers)

  • 1 tbsp Hilltop Spanish Orange Blossom Honey

  • 60ml light beer - I used @Corona
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • salt & pepper, to season
  • For serving, charred corn, flour tortillas, coriander, sour cream, pickled red onions, lime wedges & salsa.

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees c (fan).
  2. Add the oil to a pan over medium heat. Season the chicken with chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt & pepper as desired.
  3. Once the oil is hot add the chicken. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, until browned but not fully cooked.
  4. Mix together the chipotle pepper, adobo sauce, honey, & beer and whisk to combine.
  5. Once browned pour the sauce over the chicken and stir to coat. Transfer to the oven & roast for 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
  6. Once cool enough, shred the chicken. Transfer back to the dish and add a squeeze of lime juice and mix.
  7. Dip your tortillas in the chicken sauce and dry fry while assembling.
  8. Finish with your favourite toppings - we had sour cream, pickled onions, spring onions, coriander & Salsa on the side with some nachos and charred corn.
