- 3/4 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 3/4 teaspoons Oregano (dried)

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl and add ground cumin, chili powder, black pepper, and salt to it. Mix them up and add chicken pieces to the bowl. Rub the spices all over the chicken skin. Make sure that the chicken pieces are entirely coated with the spice rub.
- Add canola oil to the skillet over medium heat. As the oil starts smoking, add the chicken to the pot and cook the chicken until it’s light brown in color. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool.
- Add butter and oil to the pot. Add onions to it and cook them until they’re tender. Add garlic and chilies to the pot and cook for about 30 seconds. Then, stir in flour and combine it with all the other ingredients in the pot. Cook for about two minutes and then add chicken stock. Stir it well until there are no lumps of flour in the mixture.
- Add chili garlic paste, Tabasco, salsa verde, oregano, cumin, and brown sugar to the pot. Mix them well and let this mixture simmer for about a minute. Add chicken back into this pot and simmer the mixture for 5 more minutes. Now, stir in the sour cream and white beans. Garnish it with pico de gallo or green onions and serve with white rice.
