This recipe doesn't really need a story; it's just amazing. Well, maybe I should warn you that although chipotle peppers in adobo sauce smell delicious and more like candy, they are still hot. Only add more if you can stand the heat!

I was debating between this and bbq beer chicken, and made the other. It was decent but I bet this would be better. I wonder if I can get away with using a blender? I still don't have a food processor :(
ReplyDeleteYeah I think the blender would be fine for this, its all mushy stuff. but you really need to get one!! I was thinking of doing a beer chicken sandwich i found on....actually i dont remember but i think how sweet.....soon!
