8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (3pounds)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 medium white onion, minced, plus more for serving
2 jalapeños, stemmed, seeded, and minced
2 tablespoons minced chipotle chiles
3 tablespoons adobo sauce
4 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
Warm corn tortillas, for serving
Cilantro leaves, for serving
Sour cream, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
Preheat the oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, brush the chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the largest piece registers 165°F, about 35 minutes. Let cool slightly, then shred the meat; discard the skin and bones.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet until shimmering. Add the 1/2 onion, jalapeños, and a generous pinch of salt; cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until just softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chipotles and adobo sauce and cook for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook until softened and any liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken and cook until hot, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the chicken into warm corn tortillas and serve with cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges, and minced onion.
