I used chicken thighs and skipped the cilantro (Yuck!). I used low fat Mayo for the sauce, and I skipped the whole broiler exercise because it seemed to be a lot of work. These carnitas were delicious. The sauce was wonderful. I served these with flour tortillas and cabbage that I sauteed in a little lemon olive oil. Great meal. Thanks a lot for the recipe! It's my go-to now.
This was a HUGE hit with the whole family. Will definitely make again. Good savory flavor that complemented the spice.
This was really good! I wasn't sure about the baking after cooking. I don't think it's necessary unless you want the "crispy" part. I did want to try it crispy and am happy I made the extra effort! I did not use the chipotle sauce in the recipe though, I don't like mayo. I found a substitute online and it worked out perfectly.
I really like this recipe, and honestly the sauce is the highlight for me. I will say that it doesn’t usually end up getting crispy, but that’s fine for how we serve this. I like to double the recipe and use the meat as filling for quesadillas, tacos, etc. for a quick meal. I wonder if anyone has found a good way to use the leftover liquid? Lots of good flavor in that, too!
My first time making this in an instapot. Tastes delicious, but a dutch oven would have been faster.
I made this with the suggested chicken thighs and my family loved it. There were parts of the recipet hat were lost a bit in translation but after reviewing the original personal recipe we got it made.
Made in an IP Duo+Crisp, so I used the air fryer broiler button instead of broiling in the oven. My husband and son *loved* it (I'm veg). Next time I would pour off the broth and drizzle a little over instead of just returning shredded chicken to the pot to increase crispiness. I made spanish rice from a box (gasp!) in the bake pan on the tall trivet while pressure cooking the chicken (8 mins) and it turned out perfect.
This was the best chicken I've made for tacos. The chicken was incredibly flavorful and would make excellent tacos even if you didn't broil it.
The chipotle sauce was fantastic. I did substitute plain Greek yogurt for the mayo. My son has asked that we make some the next time we have french fries.
