I’ve been making this for years. Glad to see it’s getting the attention
it deserves lately. A slightly different way that I make it to Chef
John (Jon?) is I sear the meat, add a little bit of thyme, and use a mix
of chiles including pasilla and ancho which gives it more depth and the
sweetness in lieu of using honey. Sautéing the onions will also add
sweetness to the profile. I also will use beer stock instead of
chicken. Have loved Chef John’s videos for a long time and just sharing
my version.
