Notes
This marinade is my go-to chipotle recipe, so I wanted to share it separately from the taco recipe so that you know you can use it however you want. You can marinate it for 30 minutes to 24 hours and then bake, grill, or place in a slow cooker or pressure cooker. Or you can throw it together and freeze it for up to 3 months to use later! Either way, you'll have delicious chipotle chicken when you are done!
