It is not lost on us that this could have been like 8 videos, thank you so much for putting it all in one place!

From my family to yours, thank you for caring about us and helping us to endure this inflation. Channels like yours, keep us able to have good food at home without paying exorbinant prices when we dine out.

I tried this recipie. There were a few concesions I had to make.

1. I made the adobo paste. I cut and de-seeded the chiles. It was arduous but the flaver after following this recipie was amazing. I froze some and kept some in the fridge.
2. I used canned pinto beans instead of dried.
3. I used canned roasted corn.

Everything else was followed exactly.

Results:
This was amazing! The chicken was full of flavor without being overly spicy (I love spice but my son does not. He loved it.) I did both chicken breasts and thighs. Cooking times were different. The breast flavor itself was entirely seasoning and was great. The thighs had a fatty, milder flavor but added more chicken flavor to the mix. (I preffered the thighs)
The corn salsa was fresh, vibrant, and delicious.
The rice was simple but had a soft overtone of cilantro and citrus. Salt levels were excellent.
The beans were extremly tasty and held their own with the other components.
Fajita vegies were tasty.

I am adding this to my meal prep routine. The adobo paste is a lot of work but in large batches it's well worth it. Everything else is easy to do and tastes amazing.

This is one of my favourite cooking channels!

For freezing sauces like the adobo, I love using an ice cube tray. When they're frozen just put all the sauce cubes in a big ziploc bag and take out as many as you need when you need them.

The level of these videos is insane. I do a quick and dirty version of the chipotle chicken all the damn time but I'm definitely making a big batch of the legit marinade.

Man you just answered the worlds most wanted answer to why Chipotle is not so good anymore!! I didn't realize all the changes they'd made makes ALL the difference!! Thanks for doing the research and the video all in one. KUDOS to you!!!

[chrismcmasters]

Thanks Jason! Once again you go above and beyond. There is no one on YT delivering what you do! So a big thank you from my family to you. We are trying this out tomorrow. If you ever have time figure out PF Chang’s Kung Pao shrimp I would gladly donate to unraveling that mystery I can come close but just can’t dial it in. That is what we love though about you, the relentless drive to get it right and allow us at home to recreate these amazing dishes. Thank you again!

This is one of the best videos ever! 1) So much info, 2) Clearly well researched…he put an insane amount of time and effort and worked with multiple sources to provide accurate information, 3) Specific recipes. One of my greatest pet peeves…knock off recipes with optional ingredients…if something is a knock off, there should be no optional ingredients because it’s a specific recipe. If I know don’t like something, the onus is on me to make adjustments. 4) As a random bonus, the “authentic experience” moment near the end was hilarious!
Thank you so much!

[paulstevens]

I must make this immediately! Thank you for including both volume and weight measurements, very helpful! Seriously, this is the greatest cooking channel on the internet. I can’t tell you how long I’ve been trying other recipes in vain to reproduce restaurant dishes like Chipotle, Chick fil A, beef lo mein, etc.

[buntoll]

My wife and I made this! It was absolutely amazing. Very flavorful and almost addicting. Admittedly, .it is a bit of a process however, your patience will be rewarded!

[PaulGAckerman]

Just as I'm about to ask if I should use traditional or Mexican oregano, Jason's got the answer and the explanation handy!

[bobnewkirk]

This video was epic. you spoil us with all the different recipes for the components here and with some subtle tweaks the entire dish could be pushed to any sort of chicken and rice bowl. the possibilities are literally endless with this one video. Well done.

[asiburger]

There he is! Our man's back with some good stuff.

[jimdavidson]

Jason, please don’t take all the compliments you get lightly! You are truly the very best at compiling exact information for reproducing our favorite dishes and restaurant offerings. The Chipotle Burrito Bowl preparation is a multiple day task so I really appreciate not only preparation info but storage details. I can start a week before my guests arrive! Thank you wholeheartedly!!

[Sabrina-sxfl]

This video is SO well made! I can tell how much work you put into this and gathering this much information all pressed down into 20 minutes is insane. I enjoyed it a lot, thanks for making it!!

[kimtae]

Feeding the engagement machine. Thanks for all the hard work testing and producing this stuff. You've been the source of many amazing meals

[asexualpanic_]

I had my roommate dress up as the manager when I did this and he actually wrote me up and then fired me. This recipe is legit the best! But for realsies, I enjoyed this video. Thanks, Jason. :3

[williamcoolidge]

I made the Chipotle chicken recipe found on YT from a former worker and it's plenty close enough for me. I make it all the time. And while I appreciate the time you take to cook with dried chiles, using chipotles in adobo sauce from a can is so much easier. I'll give up a little "depth" for a much easier process. But I will give this recipe a shot and see if the flavor is way better. I love your work. Big fan of the Benihana chicken fried rice. Edit - Ok, I finished the video. Making a huge batch and freezing the leftovers seems very reasonable. I'm going to give it a shot.

[tanvigawde]

I was just thinking of making a chipotle bowl yesterday and this morning I got a notification that you have made just what I was looking for!! Thank you!!

[queenbrooksie]

Now this is going to be a lot of work doing all of this (thank you for doing all of this!) but the challenge is accepted, I am going to do this. I love the old Chipotle and rarely go there any more because it just is not as good as it used to be. And the fact that I can prep and store a lot of this is fantastic. I am going to do some research and see if I can actually can some of the sauces for shelf storage. This is going to be fun.
