Recipe Yield: Total time: 2 hours, plus marinating time | Serves 6 to 8.
Ingredients
3 1/2 ounces (100 g) dried guajillo peppers, stems removed 1 white onion, quartered 8 garlic cloves 2 cinnamon sticks 6 whole cloves ½ teaspoon whole black peppercorns ½ teaspoon cumin seeds ¼ cup dry oregano 1 (3/4-ounce) bunch thyme 2 bay leaves 1 pound fresh tomatoes, each one quartered 1/4 cup water Salt 1 chicken, cut into pieces up 15 dried avocado leaves
Preparation

Step 1 Place the dried peppers in a bowl and cover with hot water. Weight the peppers down and set aside for several minutes to give the peppers time to soften.

Step 2 Meanwhile, wrap the onion in aluminum foil and grill over a hot comal or griddle until the onion is charred and softened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 3Over the comal or griddle, toast the garlic cloves, cinnamon, whole cloves, peppercorns, cumin seeds, oregano, thyme and bay leaves, tossing or stirring until the ingredients are aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4Combine the tomatoes and water in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the tomatoes are very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Step 5Combine all of the above ingredients in a blender and blend until everything is fully pureed, several minutes. Taste and season with 1 tablespoon salt, or as desired. Combine the marinade and chicken in a nonreactive container, cover and marinate overnight.

Step 6Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Transfer the chicken to a large baking dish and cover with the avocado leaves. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and roast until the chicken is tender, 60 to 75 minutes.
