Pollo A Las Brasas Estilo Sinaloense Grilled Orange Chicken Recipes

SINALOA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place dried guajillo chilis into a glass dish. Pour hot water over top, cover, and let stand for 20 minutes. Doing this will rehydrate the chilis and make them easier to blend.
• Once the chiles have rehydrated, add them along with the remaining marinade ingredients to a blender. Blend until all contents are well combined.
• Place chicken pieces into a large glass baking dish. Pour marinade over the top, making sure all parts are well coated. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
• Ready the charcoal grill for a two-zone, indirect cook.
• While the grill is heating up, remove pan with chicken from the fridge and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken from marinade and place the pieces onto the hottest part of the grill. Brush any excess marinade onto the chicken.Get a nice sear on the skins (about 3-5 minutes), turn , and do the same to the other side. Move chicken to the cooler part of the grill and finish cooking indirectly.
• Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. for breast meat, and 175 for thighs and legs, it's good to go.
• Remove chicken from the grill, place onto a serving platter, and serve with your favorite side dishes.

POLLO A LAS BRASAS, ESTILO SINALOENSE (GRILLED ORANGE CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Splitting the chicken for grilling: Using a large knife or kitchen shears, cut down both sides of backbone of 1 chicken, through the joints where the legs attach, then on through the ribs; remove the backbone. Open the chicken out flat on your cutting board, skin-side up, press on the breastbone to loosen it so the chicken will lie flat. For the nicest presentation, make a small incision through the skin toward the bottom of each thigh and press end of the nearest drumstick through it; this will hold the leg in place as the chicken is grilled. Repeat with the second chicken, rinse well and pat dry with paper towels, then lay them in a noncorrosive bowl. Puree the orange juice, onion, garlic, herbs and spices in a food processor or blender. Pour over the chickens and rub to coat them thoroughly. Cover tightly or close the bags and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or, preferably overnight), turning the chickens several times. Prepare a charcoal grill or heat a gas grill to medium. Remove the chickens from the marinade. Lightly spray the chickens with oil and place them on the grill skin side up. Cover and grill for 20 minutes. Baste chickens with marinade, then turn chickens over. Continue grilling, basting occasionally with the remaining marinade, until thigh juices run clear when pierced with a knife, 15-25 minutes more. Remove the chickens to a cutting board and cut each in half. Serve garnished with grilled green onions, if you wish.
