Instruction manual
1
Remove the skin from the chicken thighs.

Put the pepper in a bowl and add enough boiled water to completely cover. Leave Chile in a warm place for 25 minutes until the pods soften.

At the same time, heat the oil in a frying pan, fry the chicken thighs in it until golden brown. Add onion and simmer for 6 minutes until it becomes transparent. Add spices and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes.

Stir the vegetables thoroughly and send to the chicken thighs. Cover the pan with a lid and cook while stirring over low heat for 70 minutes.

Get the pieces of chicken on a plate. Using 2 forks, separate the meat from the bones and discard them. Return the chicken to the stew, add chocolate and continue cooking without a lid for 30 minutes. If the sauce looks too thick, it is recommended to add some more warm water.
