How To Make mole sauce & chicken, a mexican classic!

  • Step 1
    Season chicken with salt/pepper, cumin, and any others that you wish. Add also chicken bullion and cut up onion for extra taste. Boil whole chicken until cooked through.
  • Step 2
    Remove chicken and set aside. Let remaining water cool completely and remove any excess fat. When liquid is completely cool, bring it back to a boil and mix in your 2 jars of mole sauce. It's hard like a brick but will dissolve in the sauce. Once mole is dissolved - add peanutbutter and mix until sauce thickens.
  • Step 3
    Serve with your favorite type of rice, the chicken, with mole sauce all over! Enjoy even more with warm flour tortillas! Supper yummy and supper authentic!
