How to Make It

1. Step
Break down the chicken into 6 parts--2 thighs, 2 breasts, and 2 wings.
2. Step
Add the chicken pieces to large bowl with the Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons of canola oil, the salt, and pepper and toss to coat.
3. Step
In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken, skin-side down, and the remaining tablespoon of oil. Sear the chicken until browned on both sides and the skin is crispy, about 5-8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
4. Step
To the hot pan, add the onion, celery, green chiles, garlic, and tomato paste, stirring to combine after each ingredient is added. Sweat until fragrant and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Step
Deglaze the pan with the beer and chicken stock. Return the chicken to pan, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and braise for 1 hour.
6. Step
Make the pico de gallo: In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, onions, jalapeño, salt, cilantro, and the lime zest and juice. Stir to combine.
7. Step
Make the avocado yogurt: In a large bowl, combine the yogurt, avocados, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Mash with 2 forks until mostly smooth and well combined.
8. Step
Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
9. Step
Remove the chicken from the braising liquid. Increase the heat to high and cook the braising liquid until reduced by half, about 30 minutes.
10. Step
Using forks, shred the chicken and place the meat in a large bowl. Discard the bones or save for another use.
11. Step
Add 1 cup (240 ML) of the reduced braising liquid to the chicken and stir to combine.
12. Step
Assemble the nachos: Spread the plantain chips on a baking sheet in an even layer. Top with half of the black beans and all of the chicken, then the remaining black beans. Cover with the cheddar, mozzarella, and pepper Jack cheeses and finish with the pickled jalapeños.
13. Step
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
14. Step
Top the nachos with the pico de gallo, avocado yogurt, and cilantro.
15. Step
Enjoy!
