- Add the diced apple to the onion mixture with the almonds. Cook stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes, then add the soaked raisins, with any remaining sherry. Add the chicken pieces to the pan.
- Pour the stock and tequila over the chicken mixture. cover the pan with a lid and cook for 15 minutes, then take off the lid and cook for 10 more minutes or until the sauce has reduced by about half.
- Check that the chicken thighs are cooked by lifting one out of the pan and piecing it in the thickest part with a sharp knife or skewer. Any juices that come out should be clear. If necessary, cook the chicken for a little longer before serving. sprinkled with chopped fresh herbs, if desired.
