1-First, prep all items by chopping 1 medium onion and 3 garlic cloves finely, and cutting 500g chicken thighs into serving pieces. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until they turn translucent, which takes about 5 minutes. This step builds a flavorful base for your Tajin.

2-Next, add the chicken pieces and brown them on all sides for 5-7 minutes to seal in juices. Stir in 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground ginger, 2 halves of preserved lemons, and 100g green olives to coat the chicken well. Tajin works great here; sprinkle it as a finishing touch for extra tang.

3-Then, pour in enough water or broth to cover the ingredients partially and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 45-60 minutes until the chicken is tender and flavors meld. For variations, blend Tajin with lime juice and chamoy to make a sauce that pairs with fruits like mango or pineapple.

4-Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Tajin’s range, including the classic dry blend and reduced sodium version, makes it easy to customize for different tastes. Common ingredients like fresh lime juice enhance the spicy, fruity notes from Tajin’s chamoy hot sauce.
