My husband and I tried this recipe out and we were saddened by the results. The chicken didn't have much flavor at all, and was dry. I even added a bit of chicken stock because I was worried it might be dried out since there wasn't much liquid in there. The main probably was that you couldn't taste any of the spices from the hot sauce or from the chipotles. Not sure what went wrong. Hopefully someone else has better luck. :)
