Directions

Prep 15 minCook 70 min

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. De-bone chicken thighs, reserving bones. Season with salt and pepper, then bake for 50-55 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken bones and fry for 5-10 minutes.
3
Add diced jalapeno peppers and garlic, cooking until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
