Steps:

• Whisk the rice vinegar, canola oil, lime juice, orange juice, ancho chile powder, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, chile de arbol, ground cloves and garlic in a bowl.
• Place the chicken pieces on a large baking dish. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and rub it into each piece of chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Remove the chicken from vinegar mixture and place on a baking sheet.
• Heat a grill for indirect grilling. Add the wood chips to the coals or to a wood chip box and place on the gas briquettes. Close the grill cover and heat the grates about 10 minutes.
• Place the chicken over the direct heat, skin-side down. Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred - about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 minutes longer. Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill, close the grill cover and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 degrees F for white meat and 165 degrees F for dark meat, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil.
• Serve with Relish:.
• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and stir in the quinoa. Cover the pot and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit covered. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat the grill to high for direct grilling. Grill corn (no directions given) - your preference. Brush the green onions with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the onions until soft and slightly charred, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the onions from the grill and coarsely chop. Stir the corn, beans, olive oil, and lime juice in a bowl. Add the quinoa and chopped green onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Keep the relish at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the cilantro and oregano and serve along with grilled 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.
