1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 Tbsp. ancho chile powder
1 Tbsp. pasilla pepper
2 Tbsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. cayenne
3 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup olive oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut in half lengthwise
32 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 2 hours
Glaze:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2 shallots, finely diced
1 tsp. cascabel powder
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
2 cups tangerine juice
lemon juice, to taste
honey, to taste
1 Tbsp. olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper
Tangerine-Pomegranate Relish:
6 tangerines, segmented
seeds from 1 pomegranate
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
2 Tbsp. lime juice
1 tsp. honey
Instructions:
For the Marinated chicken:
Mix together the juices, chile powders, paprika, cayenne, cilantro and oil. Add the chicken thighs and let marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.
For the Glaze:
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-heat. Add the shallots and cascabel powder and cook until soft. Raise the heat to high, add the vinegar, sugar and tangerine juice and reduce to a syrup. Season with the lemon juice and honey to taste. Add the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Let the glaze cool.
For the Tangerine-Pomegranate Relish:
Combine all the relish ingredients together and mix well.
For the chicken skewers:
Preheat the grill pan. Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread each chicken half onto 2 skewers so that the meat stays flat on the grill. Season with salt and pepper and grill for 4 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill pan and brush liberally with the tangerine glaze.
To serve:
Place the chicken skewers on individual serving plates garnished with the relish and chives. Serve with warm flour tortillas.
