I was nervous about making this dish the first time, and taking it to a dinner party. I saw Emeril make this on his show, and thought it was something different no one else would bring. I was very pleased, it turned out well, and I would definately make this dish again. It does take a bit of time to do all of the prep work, but I thought that it was worth it.




Best Chicken Ever

This was easily the best chicken I've ever made, and I've been cooking since I was 10 years old. I did use 12 drumsticks instead of a whole chicken, but it turned out fine, just make sure you have a BIG pan. Also, putting all those greens in the food processor was a little hard, and the top cilantro & lettuce refused to grind. I had to keep pushing them down and then regrinding, and I was worried the sauce would turn to mush, but it was fine. You could probably grind it forever and it would be ok. I think in the episode Emeril actually added oil to the mole (sauce), but I didn't since the recipe didn't call for it. I did use extra chicken stock, but I still didn't have enough sauce to cover all the rice I made (2 cups). I would suggest making more sauce because it's the best thing you've ever tasted and everyone will want more and more over their rice and/or chicken. This recipe really kicked @$$ and I recommend everyone try it out immediately. That's all for now! ~Kira

This took a long time to prepare. I was very disappointed, it was lacking flavor. I will not be adding this to my recipe box.




Delicious!

Another winner by Emeril. Takes a little long to make, but worth it! Great dish to feed a large family, low cost but looks & tastes like a million bucks. Made it for my in-laws and it was a hit.




Tasty with an Interesting Texture

Great flavor, nice texture (of the sauce and the chicken), and surprisingly easy to make. It looked like a lot of ingredients and steps but it actually came together quickly and I had plenty of time to make the rice while the chicken was simmering in the sauce.
