Chipotle’s Chicken Cooked at Home - By a Former Chipotle Employee

[@weich1q2w]

This is by far the closest thing to chipotle I have tried. I use the chicken breast which might be the only thing differing them but it’s great. This recipe blows every other “chipotle restaurant copycat recipe” out of the water. They aren’t even close and this one is actually great 👍🏻

[@CookingwithChris1]

That’s a huge compliment! Thank you!

This is the best video I've seen on Chipotle chicken no one comes close

[@weich1q2w]

@@CookingwithChris1 Hey no problem but one thing that I have noticed looking around at other videos is that many people try and also copy the black bean recipe correctly. I have tried a few and they really aren't the best recipes compared to what chipotle offers so that could be a good video for you to do. Not only helpful for me but also for many others who want to get the black beans correct. I'm sure you have been asked to make many things but this would be great and looking forward to the other videos you publish.

[@CookingwithChris1]

I have a video on it! Just simmer a can of black beans with a bay leaf and then add salt and citrus juice at the end

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love a slaw made with chipotle seasoning and this is how I will make it in the future.

[@rachelharris725]

@colleenunvarnished you are welcome 😊. I keep a couple of small squeeze bottles with the tube tip for sauces and homemade condiments or blends. My husband loves a sandwich for his lunches and it just helps make them a little more interesting. I think my favorite is chopped sundried tomato, roasted garlic, and pesto in mayo blend. My husbands favorite is a hot roast beef and pastrami with provolone, sourkraut, and a mayo Dijon and Russian dressing mix. I put the meat in a small sauce pan of hot beef broth, toast the bread in the oven on broil, then assemble. I always wanted to open a soup, sandwich, salad place.

[@tylerharris1454]

Novice cooker here: What this video doesn't tell you is to preheat the pan for about 5 minutes before putting the chicken in. I had to ask a friend how to get charred meat. Been trying to get it right for a month. Finally, I got it right once I finally found out the trick. I know it may seem dumb to most people that this is an easy step to miss, but I am a novice when it comes to cooking.

[@symbol767]

Thanks for this I most definitely would have not done it if you didn't tell me

[@anpham7108]

Thank you for the tip. 😊

[@afnanj]

I think u should always preheat ur pan. If its stainless steel it’s a must

[@ConstantlyRepeatingMyself]

It's not dumb if you don't know that your pan must be hot first to get a good sear. Not everyone knows how to cook. We all learn from our mistakes and by researching and asking questions. The more you cook, the better you will get at it. Just in case you don't know, stainless steel pains can also be nonstick. You must heat up your pan until it's pretty hot. Then add the oil and voila it's nonstick. If your pan is not heated up hot enough everything will stick.

[@JustJosey01]

I literally just made this and I have to say.. thank you so much brother. As a former KM I’d say this recipe was even better, probably cause I made it myself but oh my goodness. Definitely saving this recipe forever.

[@jrs3359]

We’ve made this twice now in one week. This is absolutely delicious. We think it’s far better than Chipotle chicken, there’s way more flavor. My kids and husband can’t get enough… they all said it’s the best chicken they’ve ever had. The first chicken I marinated for 4 hours, it was amazing. The next batch got marinated for longer and was significantly more spicy. We loved it but if I were to make this for my Mom or someone who was sensitive to spice at all, I would leave out the whole peppers and just use the sauce in the cans and or not marinate as long. But this recipe is really one of the best chicken marinades I’ve ever used and I cook ALOT.

[@meepinandmorpin]

Former employee, can confirm this is it y'all!

[@tylers9476]

They use chicken thighs at chipotle?!

[@meepinandmorpin]

@@tylers9476 My location used breasts if I recall, but that could've changed since 2017! The marinade is the key though.

[@Nathan-wn5mc]

@@tylers9476 Most places will uses chicken thighs unless stated otherwise. Chicken thighs hold more flavor and are more forgiving than chicken breast.

[@shadow_hawk2702]

Yeah no...as a Kitchen Manager at Chipotle, we do not know the exact recipe for the marinade. It comes pre packaged as an adobo paste that has a VERY different consistency than this. We used to marinate the chicken ourselves each closing night, but now it comes premarinated. Also, it's always been thighs, never breasts at all because breasts dry out too easily and are less flavorful as a result (hurting the stores CI the drier it is). Recipe seems like it would be fantastic though, but not even close to how it's actually made so this is just an imitation. *edit- He virtually made the recipe for the Chipotle Honey Vinaigrette. Only things missing were the oil and red wine vinegar.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hahaha you’re not wrong, but again this recipe is to imitate it so closely it’s hard to taste any difference. I used my experience there to help get this correct. Also the vinaigrette recipe on my channel does contain those ingredients.

[@WhatsInAName222]

[@ad-cq6ym]

@@CookingwithChris1 Hey there!! Love this video and I can't wait to try it soon. One thought, and this isn't a criticism at all but just some friendly advice from another former cook: when I watched you cutting up the chicken at the very end, I was getting really worried about your fingers!! I believe that your technique with your guide hand (the hand that isn't holding the knife) makes this more likely to occur. I noticed that you don't curve your knuckles on your guide hand properly, which can dramatically reduce the likelihood that you might accidentally cut yourself because your fingers are protected. Again, I only offer this as a helpful tip, one that I learned from cutting myself too many times when I was working as a line cook. Happy cooking!

[@alexmousouris8997]

I used to work at Chipotle as well and they made us wear a metal cut glove, which was very uncomfortable but allowed you to cut fast without danger during rush

[@danieladuranvega7567]

I need someone who work in Chipotle ask me this question How do they keep the chicken in the steam table keeping away from drying out?

[@CookingwithChris1]

You can’t technically. Eventually it will. I was always taught to only cook for the pace of the hour. If a lot of people are coming in I’d cook a full grill for a full deep third full. If it’s slow, don’t cook a shit ton of chicken because it won’t get served right away, and will dry out affecting C7.

[@Noelle.Tyy0890]

@@danieladuranvega7567 I used to work there and because they use chicken thighs, it doesn’t dry out the way chicken breast would. They also cook a new batch of the meats every hour or so just to ensure freshness. They’ll throw out meat that has been sitting for too long which is why the meat is rarely dry.

Marinated the chicken one whole day/night for best outcome and used cast iron pan. Thanks a lot brother!

[@user-ch1jg7mq6v]

How much chicken breast? I’m making this today but 1.4 OZ of chicken breast and want to know if I use more/less of the ingredients

[@marc_aussie]

I used 2 large chicken breasts, each one sliced lengthwise and pounded with kitchen hammer to even out size. I also cross cut/scored the surface to get more marinade into the chicken and I like the texture once it’s grilled on the cast iron. The wet brining from the marinade makes the chicken breast just as good or better than thighs.

*****WORDS OF ADVICE IF MAKING WITH CHICKEN BREASTS***** Pasteurization of chicken breast can happen at temperatures lower than 165 degrees. Chicken breast become safe to eat when it hits 155 and stays at that temp or higher for 47.7 seconds. I've found if you pull your chicken at 155, it will stay or rise at that temp for well over a minute. your chicken will be much juicer and less stringy if pulled at 155 rather than 165. Also, pound your chicken breasts flat before cooking so they heat up more evenly Since chicken thighs have a higher fat content, you shouldn't cook them to any lower than what Chris did in his video (165). Dark meat is a lot more forgiving and you can still have good chicken thighs even if you messed up and cooked them to 185.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Exactly. Thighs can stand a lot of cooking and still be juicy because of their higher fat content.

That’s awesome!!! I just watched your video and it’s spot on! However I will say chipotle does not use red onions in the recipe, but I gotta try that as it prob adds some more powerful flavor!!

Just started marinating my chicken. Cant wait to see how it turns out tomorrow.

I made this along with your rice and corn salsa for my girlfriend. Glad to say she loved it! Thank you!!!

I’m actually shocked by how much my family loved this. My brother has appetite issues so my jaw dropped when I saw how much of this chicken he hate. He had leftovers that I wanted my sister to try but by the time she came, my other siblings had cleaned the bones (I used legs and bone-in thighs). I quickly made another thigh for her and she was raving for 5 minutes straight. She can get nit picky about what to improve for next time but she literally told me “I have nothing to improve this. It’s perfect.” Looks like I’ll be making this again 😅 Also, I air-fried the chicken at 375° F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway, and they turned out perfect. I recommend letting them rest after they come out because the chicken can be a bit rubbery when eaten straight away. After about 5 minutes of rest they become extremely soft and tender. I cannot thank you enough for this recipe! (Also, mine didn’t taste exactly like Chipotle’s, it may have been the ingredients I used. But it’s very easy to say that I don’t need this to taste like Chipotle!)

[@vlogsbyrow]

He ate*! Not “he hate” oops

[@CookingwithChris1]

Hell yeah! I’m so happy they loved that! I love that technique and will try it out!

[@streetzlee]

I made for first time for my bf today! He said it was great, nothing needed to be changed😊kisses to the chef❤❤❤

The Chipotles restaurant near me is a mess, when they have the evening rush, all the contents from all the pans go every where and they dont clean it up, so the cheese has bits of sour cream and guacamole and the beans have bits of other non bean foods and it awful. Now thanks to this simple and tasty recipe, we don't have to stress about walking into that location and seeing that train wreck any more. Thank you Chris so much for the great video friend

[@thedavid3737]

Just tried this out tonight and wow, it tastes dead on Chipotle chicken! I didn’t use as much salt as the recipe called for and it still turned out amazing! Thank you so much for posting this!! Now I’m going to eat nothing but chicken forever 😄

[@MsCaity01]

This came out sooooooo good!!!!! I added lime juice, cilantro and onions to it and omg 🤤! Definitely my new favorite way to make chicken thighs! Going to try it on grilled wings next

[@PaulaD57]

Literally am grilling the chicken right now. This is delicious. The only thing I switched was the salt. I used pink salt instead, but still very delicious and quick to make after marinading. Overall delicious 🤗

[@drumline17]

I've made this half a dozen times in the last two months. So fucking good. This recipe has become my meal prep go-to. Thanks dude

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thanks that is a huge compliment. Anything else you’d like to see?

[@drumline17]

@@CookingwithChris1 Nah you've done a great job covering the basics for chipotle obsessed people lol

[@kellycarpenter334]

This is it! I’ve tried others and they don’t even come close. Thank you Chris!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Now take it up a notch and put a little honey on the chicken once it has flipped and it will blow your mind hah.

[@SamFerndz]

Used this on tofu and worked like a dream, you’re the MVP

[@ben.faerber]

At my chipotle, they make us wear a chain mail cut glove and you get fired if you injure yourself and are not wearing the cut glove 😂. Also I can confirm that this is the correct way to make the chicken!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Oh I think you’d know 😂

[@KayyGlamnails]

You are an angel sent from heaven!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes!! I have been looking for years to find a foodtuber to hit all the chipotle recipes perfectly and you definitely did that!!

[@wrenjacobs9392]

Thank you for helping us to eat like wealthy people in these tight times. I will be cooking your other recipes too and may God bless and keep you always my friend.

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thank you!

[@Raven5763]

For the leftover chipotle peppers, I would mince them and add to a bowl with enough mayonnaise to make a light pink color. Add a pinch of sea salt, and you have a killer chipotle mayo.

[@DanielJaegerFilms]

Delicious!! My brother told me about your vids. Well done!

[@CookingwithChris1]

Thanks Dan! Just tryna be like you!

John 6:40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭ 1 Peter 4:8 “Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” “What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?” Matthew 16:26

Was employee for 1 day, learned the secret and quit next day. If anybody knows how to make chipotle chicken it’s him.

[@evan9536]

Wow the algorithm blessed me up this time

[@IlNeige]

Been using this for my meal prep. Flavor is spot on!!

[@cathymc116]

I use salted butter because I can't get the special oil you used. It really adds a depth of flavor and you can't really tell that it's butter. Also, hibachi restaurants use butter in their fried rice. About a teaspoon per cup of cooked rice is good.
