One of the key ingredients in these chipotle chicken tacos is a jar of salsa from the supermarket. Yes, really. The salsa creates a spice-packed cooking liquid for the chicken to stew in, adding big flavor from the very beginning. When shopping, pick a jarred salsa with a chunky consistency. "Restaurant-style" and "cantina" salsas are too watery for this recipe. Most of the flavor of the dish comes from the jarred salsa, which tenderizes the chicken thighs and infuses them with tomato and spice. Honey and canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce play the supporting roles that take this dish to the next level.
