Cooking Instructions
Add garlic, onion, vinegar, ancho chili powder, cumin, oregano, oil, salt, pepper, chipotle pepper, and adobo sauce to the blender or a food processor and blend until smooth.
Feel each piece as sometimes the butcher misses a piece of bone; this has happened at least once for every batch that I've made. Once you're certain there are no bones, place the chicken thighs in a large Ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Close the bag and mix everything together until the chicken thighs are coated. Place into the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
Use Instant Pot's manual button (high pressure) for 12 minutes. Natural release for at least 10 minutes.
Remove chicken and shred for tacos, burrito bowls, etc.
Protip: Costco's boneless skinless chicken thighs usually come in 8lb packages.
