Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 14

2.5 pounds chicken parts (bone-in, skin on - use a whole cut up chicken or your favorite parts, like leg thigh quarters, breasts, etc)
1/2 cup olive oil (+ more as needed)
Juice from 1 large orange
Juice from 1 large lime
2 tablespoons vinegar
6 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tablespoon sazon (+ more for sprinkling)
1 tablespoon achiote powder (+ more for sprinkling)
1 tablespoon paprika (or use cayenne for more heat)
1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
FOR GARNISH: Fresh chopped cilantro (lime wedges, chili flakes)

Steps:

  • Marinate the Chicken. Mix together 1/2 cup olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, sazon, achiote, paprika, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes and a bit of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a large platter or dish and pour in the marinade. Alternatively, you can use a large sealable bag. Refrigerate and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour. 3 hours is best.
  • Grill the Chicken. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Heat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Sprinkle the chicken with extra sazon and achiote powder. Grill the chicken pieces 5 minutes per side.
  • Roast the Chicken. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Set the grilled chicken into a baking dish or cast iron pan and roast the chicken for 20 minutes, or until the chicken cooks through, turning half way through and basting often with the reserved marinade. The chicken should measure 165 degrees F. internally when checked with a meat thermometer.
  • Garnish and serve!

Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup orange juice ((about 1 medium orange))
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lime juice ((about 1/2 lime))
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon achiote powder ((ground annatto seed)*)
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic ((about 3 cloves))
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2-3 pounds chicken thighs or legs,
cooking oil, (for greasing)

Steps:

  • Make the marinade: Add all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
  • Marinate: Place chicken in a large gallon size ziploc bag and add the marinade. Close the bag, massage together to coat all the chicken and refrigerate for 2 to 6 hours. (Do not marinate longer than 8 hours or the chicken will get tough and begin to break down.)
  • Prepare the grill: Preheat grill to medium heat (350°F-375°F) for indirect cooking. This means light the burners (or charcoal) on one half of the grill, and leave them off on the other half. This creates a zone of direct heat and a zone of indirect heat. Grease the preheated grill grates to prevent sticking by wiping them down with a folded paper towel that's been soaked in vegetable oil.
  • Grill: Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Grill chicken skin side down over direct heat for about 8 to 10 minutes with the lid closed as much as possible, until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip chicken over, move to indirect heat and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, until the meat is firm and the temperature registers 165°F. (Don't have an instant-read thermometer? Here's the one I recommend.)
  • Time to eat! Serve pollo asado with warm corn tortillas or flour tortillas, Mexican street corn (elotes) and Mexican rice.
