Method

1

Heat the oven to 170°C. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pop them skin-side down into an ovenproof pan. Cook over a medium heat without touching for 9-10 mins, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside, leaving the rendered fat behind.

2

Roughly chop the shallots and peel and smash the garlic cloves. Throw the lot into the pan with the hot chicken fat and cook for 1-2 mins. Add the spices and chipotle, the zest and juice of the orange, the vinegar, honey and beer. Bring to a simmer, nestle the chicken back in and slide into the oven for 35-40 mins.

3

Once cooked, whip out the oven and pull the chicken off the bone. Stir the chicken meat through the sauce, reducing a little if you need to.

4

Slice the avocado and season with salt and pepper. Cut the chillies into slices, roughly chop the coriander and finely dice the onion. Heat the tortillas following pack instructions.

5

Load up the tortillas with some chicken, a slice of avocado, some chilli, onion, coriander, soured cream and a bit of extra hot honey. Serve with lime wedges and, if you're up for a drink, pour yourself a glass of creamy sherry over ice with an orange wedge.
