I didn't have time to make the Mole, I will definatly try it another time. But the Tequilla Chicken was delicious. I used lemon instead of lime, since I didn't have lime. And I put some asian Garlic Chili sauce in with the marinade and it turned out very nice. I will definatly be using Tequilla as a marinade a lot more. Thank you Emeril.

I love my mother in laws mexican cooking and especially love her mole. I saw this recipe and decided to give it a go. Bottom line is it turned out really fantastic. I was ecstatic with the flavor of the sauce. A couple of notes I learnded along the way though were:
1. You need a pretty big blender and/or food processor to get all the ingredients in that need to to be blended. I had to separate it a bit into batches to get it all blended.
2. I was tasting it all along the way and was a bit worried because it was tasting a bit bland. However once the chocolate goes in it's "kicked up a notch." Then when you do the final step of cooking with the tomato puree, broth and more chocolate the mole flavor becomes clear.
3. The mole before the final step (referenced above is a bit chunkier than I expected. It thinned out a bit once you get to the final step.
4. This is the messiest meal I think I've every cooked!! :Be prepared to do a lot of clean up a long the way.
All told I'm very happy with this recipe. I will cook it again but this will probably a once or twice a year type thing.

The mole was a lot of effort but worth it and great that there is extra to freeze.

I tried this today for a dinner party w/a Mexican theme. It was a huge hit! Just one tip: always put the tomatoes and broth on the bottom of the blender (don't ask what happens if the seeds go in first -- just trust me, it ain't pretty!. We're going to try it later this week w/rice instead of tortilas and tequila lime shrimp!

This was a bit of work, but well worth it. Much better than the short-cut versions, especially since there is plenty of sauce base to freeze!

my whole mexican family loved this! thought it was very tasty and spicy enough for them, but not too spicy, because I could still enjoy it! well worth the work. I used dry chilies instead of fresh and still came out. also you can find all these things at a local mexican store for a lot less money than a main stream store =
GREAT traditional dish...well worth the 2 hours.

Great recipe. lots of work goes into the mole sauce but you make a3 times the amount you actually need so you can freeze it and save the rest for a different dish.
