📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the chicken in a glass baking dish. In a medium sauce pot combine the orange juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, tomato paste, minced chipotle chiles + 1 tablespoon of the adobo sauce, cumin, olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Simmer ⏱️ 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened, reduced and become syrup like. Remove from the heat and allow to cool ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Pour about 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup of the sauce over the chicken and give it a good toss (reserve the remaining sauce for serving). Place the chicken in the fridge for ⏱️ 20 minutes or up to overnight.
