- In small sauce pan over medium heat, warm canola oil. Add Serrano chili halves and toast gently, about 30 seconds per side. Place chilies in bowl and cover with 1 cup boiling water. Allow to sit for 10 minutes or until softened. Drain, reserving soaking water.
- Make mole sauce by placing in bowl of food processor 4 charred tomatillo pieces, charred tomato pieces, peanuts, sesame seeds, garlic, raisins, cinnamon, ½ teaspoon black pepper, cloves and chocolate. Add chilies and ¾ cup soaking water. Blend until smooth and set aside.
- Season chicken legs with salt and remaining ¼ teaspoon black pepper. In large lidded sauté pan, warm vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add chicken legs, skin-side-down and cook, turning, until well-browned, about 8 minutes per side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
- Transfer tomato and tomatillo mixture to same pan; cook over low heat for 10 minutes. Return chicken to pan, add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium low and simmer 50 minutes.
- Remove chicken from sauce and cool slightly. Remove chicken meat from bones, chop fine and return meat to sauce. Add sugar. Keep mole warm until needed.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare salsa by combining in medium bowl pineapple, diced tomatillo, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well, cover and chill.
- Slice polenta according to package directions, making approximately 10 one-half inch slices. Warm in 375°F oven or on hot skillet for 15 minutes.
- To serve, place 2 polenta slices on each plate. Top with heaping tablespoon of chicken mole and 1 teaspoon salsa.
