Prepare the chicken by cutting it into pieces and washing it with lime and salt.

Marinate the chicken with the sauce made from blending tomatoes, onion, green chili, garlic, thyme, achiote, chicken bouillon, and water.

Add 1/4 cup dulce de atado to the marinade, adjusting sweetness to taste.

Incorporate 4 cloves, olives, capers, and rehydrated guajillo chili into the marinade.

Mix everything well and let it marinate in the refrigerator for a day.

After marinating, remove the olives, capers, and guajillo chili from the chicken.

Preheat a pot and add the marinated chicken along with the marinade, 2 cups of chicha, and 2 cups of beer.

Cook on high heat for 15 minutes, then reduce to low heat to simmer.

After 45 minutes, add diced potatoes and carrots to the pot.

Continue cooking for an additional 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.

Serve with rice, tortillas, and a salad.
