Start by making the chipotle sauce in a blender.

Add 4 roma tomatoes, 1/4 small white onion, 2 garlic cloves, chicken bouillon, tomato bouillon, cumin, and the whole can of chipotle peppers to the blender.

Add 3 cups of water to the blender and blend until smooth.

Set the chipotle sauce aside.

Clean the chicken drumsticks and pat them dry.

Create two slits in each chicken drumstick.

Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat and drizzle with olive oil.

Once the pan is hot, add the chicken and sear until nice and brown, flipping to brown all sides.

Remove the chicken from the pan and add a bit more olive oil.

Add the sliced potatoes and sliced carrots to the pan.

Season the potatoes and carrots with salt and cook for about 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, add the chipotle sauce to the pan and mix.

Reduce the heat to low and bring the sauce to a simmer.

Taste the sauce for salt and adjust if necessary, then add oregano and mix it in.

Add the chicken back into the pan along with 2 bay leaves.

Cover the pan and let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.

After 20 minutes, check the potatoes for doneness and ensure the chicken is fully cooked.
