For a richer flavor, toast the guajillo peppers lightly in a dry skillet before simmering. Adjust the amount of chicken bouillon to your taste preference. Serve with a garnish of fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for added brightness. Consider marinating the chicken in the adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, for a more intense flavor.

Jun 25, 2025I was a bit intimidated by the use of dried chiles, but it was actually quite easy to make. The result was well worth the effort!

Jun 17, 2025I found that 60 minutes was a bit too long for my oven. I would recommend checking the chicken after 45 minutes to avoid overcooking.
