Preparation
Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, add skinless chicken legs, a large chopped onion, garlic cloves, and salt. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is tender.
Prepare Mole Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, preheat your oven to 475°F. Toast the dried Guajillo and Ancho peppers in the oven until fragrant, then soak them in warm water to soften.
Roast Vegetables: On a baking sheet, place the Roma tomatoes and remaining onion slices. Roast until they are dark brown, about 20 minutes.
Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, onions, prunes, corn tortillas, and chicken broth. Blend until smooth.
Simmer Sauce: Pour the blended mixture into a pot and strain if desired. Add more chicken broth and simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
Finish Sauce: Stir in the chocolate, peanut butter, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve: Pour the rich mole sauce over your cooked chicken legs and garnish as desired.
