Roasted Chicken Thighs Adobadas

Roasted Chicken Thighs Adobadas, This recipe is inspired by one that my friend Yolanda gave me. She told me that it was passed down to her by a sister-in-law from the state of Sinaloa. In case you didn’t know, we love to eat chicken in Mexico: from the rotisserie style chicken to the chicken split open.
