Here is a "low and slow" New Mexican chicken recipe motivated by Mexican carne adovada, highlighting chicken thighs stewed in a profoundly enhanced stew sauce. Chicken is sautéed on one side just, for the Maillard response to add its flavors to the dish, and will get done with cooking and take on a profound variety as it stews.
