Servings: 6

Ingredients

Juice from 1 Large Orange
2 tbsp. Olive Oil
1 tbsp. Lime Juice (about ½ Lime)
1 tbsp. White Wine Vinegar
1 tbsp. Achiote Powder
1 tbsp. Ground Coriander
1 tbsp. Coarse Salt
1 tbsp. Minced Garlic (about 3 Cloves)
2 tsp. Smoked Paprika
2 tsp. Dried Oregano
1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
1 tsp. Ground Cumin
A pinch of Ground Cloves
1-1½ kilos of Chicken Thighs or Legs, trimmed of excess skin and fat.
You can use chicken with or without skin and bones.

1. Make the marinade: Add all ingredients except chicken in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.

2. Place the chicken in a large 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.

3. Remove the chicken from marinade and shake off any excess liquid. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil and bake in the oven on 400°F or 200°C for 30-40 minutes depending on the thickness of the chicken. The internal temperature should read at least 165°F or 73°C.

4. Serve pollo asado with warm corn tortillas or flour tortillas, Mexican street corn (elotes) and Mexican rice.
