Our chef's recommendations for cooking chicken tinga:  

Step 1

Warm a large skillet to medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil. Place chicken thighs into a pan, evenly spreadout for even cooking. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of salt and black pepper to taste on the chicken. Saute chicken for 5-6 minutes, until chicken begins to brown. Turn chicken over and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Pour the entire container of tinga sauce on the chicken with ⅓ cup of water. Place lid loosely on top and let chicken simmer until cooking through to 165℉.
