This Chipotle Restaurant Chicken Recipe is better if you have time to plan it and let it sit overnight in marinade. If not, piercing the skin and letting it sit for a few hours does the trick too.

I will either use my indoor grill or panini pan with a bacon press to cook mine but if you don’t have a press, don’t sweat it.

According to the Chipotle website their chicken includes:

Chicken , Water, Chipotle Chile, Rice Bran Oil, Cumin, Garlic, Oregano, Black Pepper, Salt – In Chipotle restaurants with a plancha grill we add a drizzle of honey to our Chicken marinade.

The latest can of chipotles I used didn’t have much adobe in it so I used one of the large peppers for flavor.
