My kids love this dish from my cookbook 'Familia' because of the crispy chicken skin.
You are essentially creating a confit where the chicken cooks in its own fat.
The flavor comes from the smoky and tangy dressing, which you don’t have to make in a molcajete, but if you have one please use it.
The magic of the molcajete, a pre-Hispanic mortar and pestle, is its ability to extract oils in a way the blades of a food processor can’t.
With the molcajete, flavors are deeper and richer, and the texture is superior as well.

The roasted tomatillos are the perfect counterpoint to the succulent and juicy chicken.
When picking your tomatillos, go for a medium size and look for smooth pieces with no cracks or bruises.
The bigger ones are too bitter, and the smaller ones burn quickly.
To serve 4 to 6, you will need 6 bone-in chicken thighs with skin, 3/4 cup Mex-Italian dressing or purchased Italian dressing, 2 pounds medium tomatillos with husks removed, very well rinsed, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon any garlicky-citrusy seasoning, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag, add the dressing, and toss to coat.

Let stand at room temperature for an hour, moving the thighs occasionally to make sure they are evenly covered in the marinade.
Preheat the oven to 475°F.
Toss the tomatillos with the olive oil, seasoning, salt, and pepper and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet.
Roast until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.

Remove the thighs from their bag, shaking off as much of the marinade as possible.
Add all the thighs to the skillet, skin side down, and cook until browned, about 12 minutes.
It’s important that the thighs are snug as a bug as they will create steam and moisture and won’t brown too much.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and continue to cook, skin side down, for 7 minutes longer.
Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully flip the chicken skin side up.

Return the skillet to the oven and continue to cook for 10 minutes, or until fully cooked.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Transfer to a platter, surround with the roasted tomatillos, and serve.
