Easy to find; easy to make recipes - Mole

No. Not the animal.  The name is pronounced Moh-Lay.  This is kind of like a curry.

Ingredients
-A can/glass/container of mole (there are different varieties.  Mild, spicy, green, red... My favorite is the red mole, mild or spicy).  You can find these at a Spanish store like Cardenas, Northgate, Superior.
-Chicken leg quarters or Chicken drumsticks
-Water
-Knorr (Chicken Broth)

Materials Needed
Two Pots (One large, One medium)
Blender

Directions
First, you want to get a large pot of water boiling.  Add some knorr (chicken flavor).  You want to taste it so that it is just over the bland taste.  To the point where you question whether you should add more salt, but it is still sufficient.  Then you want to wash the chicken.  You can peel off the skin if you want, or buy it without skin.  After that, put the chicken into the water (boiling or not) and bring it to a boil.  You want the chicken to be cooked thoroughly.  You can check the internal temperature of the chicken if you'd like, but what I do is I poke the chicken to the bone.  If it bleeds, it still needs more cook time.  If not, your chicken is ready.

In the blender, you want to add some of the chicken broth to the blender (about one to one and a half mole container worth).  Any excess chicken water/broth you want to pour out.  Add the mole and blend.  You want this to be a consistency of spaghetti sauce to tomato soup.  Then you want to transfer it to a pot and boil it.  After it boils you want to put this sauce into the pot with the chicken.  Let it simmer for a while and you are done.  You can serve this over rice, or eat it with bread, or eat it with tortillas.  It is all up to you!
