Mexican style chocolate chicken is a recipe originally created by Chakall, an Argentine cook living in Berlin.

This time I have a special combination with Mexican roots. Chicken, chocolate, wine, cinnamon, raisons, all into one dish and surprisingly delicious. The recipe was created by Chakall, a well known Argentine cook living in Berlin, even in the same building as me.
