    Title: Chicken Tamales
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Breads
    Yield: 20 servings

    24 Dried corn husks
    4 lb Broiler/fryer chicken; cut
    - up
    1 md Onion; quartered
    2 ts Salt
    1 cl Garlic; crushed
    3 qt Water

    MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
    1 c Shortening
    3 c Masa harina

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    6 tb Canola oil
    6 tb A-P flour
    3/4 c Chilli spice mix
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/4 ts Garlic powder
    1/4 ts Pepper
    4 1/2 oz (2 cans) sliced ripe olives;
    - drained
    Hot water

    Cover corn husks with cold water; soak until softened,
    at least 2 hours.

    Place chicken, onion, salt and garlic in a 6-qt.
    stockpot. Pour in 3 qt. water; bring to a boil. Reduce
    heat; simmer, covered, until chicken is tender, 45-60
    minutes. Remove chicken from broth. When cool enough to
    handle, remove bones and skin; discard. Shred chicken.
    Strain cooking juices; skim off fat. Reserve 6 cups
    stock.

    For dough, beat shortening until light and fluffy, about
    1 minute. Beat in small amounts of masa harina
    alternately with small amounts of reserved stock, using
    no more than 2 cups stock. Drop a small amount of dough
    into a cup of cold water; dough should float. If not,
    continue beating, rechecking every 1-2 minutes.

    For filling, heat oil in a Dutch oven; stir in flour
    until blended. Cook and stir over medium heat until
    lightly browned, 7-9 minutes. Stir in seasonings,
    chicken and remaining stock; bring to a boil. Reduce
    heat; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until
    thickened, about 45 minutes.

    Drain corn husks and pat dry; tear 4 husks to make 20
    strips for tying tamales. (To prevent husks from drying
    out, cover with a damp towel until ready to use.) On
    wide end of each remaining husk, spread 3 tablespoons
    dough to within 1/2" of side edges; top each with 2
    tablespoons chicken filling and 2 teaspoons olives. Fold
    long sides of husk over filling, overlapping slightly.
    Fold over narrow end of husk; tie with a strip of husk
    to secure.

    Place a large steamer basket in the stockpot over water;
    place tamales upright in steamer. Bring to a boil;
    steam, covered, adding hot water as needed, until dough
    peels away from husk, about 45 minutes.
