-In the meantime, put the chicken legs in a pot. Fill with enough water to cover the chicken legs.
-Salt the water
-Start to bring water to a boil.


While you are waiting for the water to boil, put your tomatillos, tomatoes, garlic, onion, ground cloves, oregano, pepper, and soft pasilla pepper in a blender. Mix well. (I use the soup setting) *The pasilla pepper is what gives posole it's color.
