The easiest thing to do is to forego the baking. Dilute the mole and
place in a pot. Add the chicken, bring to simmer, and cook till done.
I usually brown them a little first but it isn't necessary if you don't
feel like getting out a frying pan. Just baking the chicken first and
then 'saucing' with the mole will not work well. You want to simmer
things in the mole. -aem
