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 3h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible; save juiced orange halves)
1/4 cup lemon juice (save the juiced fruit)
1/4 cup lime juice (save the juiced fruit)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
16 whole chicken legs
2 whole onions, peeled and quartered
32 soft taco-size flour tortillas
Serving suggestions: pico de gallo, refried beans, store-bought chipotle salsa

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic cloves. Whisk together.
  • Place the chicken legs, juiced pieces of fruit and quartered onions in large plastic bags or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the top, tossing to combine. Cover with plastic wrap (if using bowl) or seal the bag up and marinate for at least 2 hours ... several hours is better. Toss a few times during the marinating process.
  • Preheat a grill. Grill the chicken legs until cooked all the way through, turning occasionally so the chicken is cooked on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Separate the tortillas into 2 piles of 16, and then wrap each pile in foil and warm over the grill for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken legs with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, refried beans and chipotle salsa.

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.

MOJO ROAST CHICKEN (POLLO ASADO)



Mojo Roast Chicken (Pollo Asado) image

Mojo-marinated roast chicken, just like grandma used to make! Serve with white rice, which is the traditional way. It's also great with mashed potatoes or in sandwiches with Cuban bread or fresh rolls. You can use half the mojo recipe for a smaller bird, drumsticks, or thighs.

Time 5h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 (6 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until very hot. While the oil heats, mash the cumin, salt, oregano, and garlic together into a paste in a heat-proof bowl; whisk the hot oil into the paste. Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Add the lime juice and orange juice; stir. Place the chicken in a large sealable bag; pour the marinade over the chicken and shake to assure an even coating. Refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange the marinated chicken in a roasting pan.
  • Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).
