POLLO ASADO
Steps:
- In a small bowl, mix all ingredients together. Set aside, and start the charcoal. Follow instructions given above for preparing the grill. 1 large roasting or frying chicken, about 3 pounds (1.36 kilos). Remove neck, feet and giblets (if present) from the cavity, rinse chicken well in cold water and pat dry. This is the fun part. You can cut the chicken in half and roast the halves, but it looks fancier and stays juicier if you follow these steps. 1. Flip the chicken onto its breast. 2. Using kitchen shears or sharp knife, cut through the back as close to the backbone as possible (you want to keep as much skin intact as possible) The two halves will still be connected in the front of the chicken. 3. Flip chicken back over, breast up, and give it a mighty wallop on the breastbone to break it free so the two halves will lie flat. 4. Tuck wing tips securely behind the back. Tie drumsticks together close to the body, or at least make sure they are turned inward. 5. Smear the chicken all over, on both sides, with marinade and let rest until the grill is heated. 6. Place the chicken in the center of the grill, where the coals have been removed per instructions above, and roast without turning for about 45 minutes, or until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced with a fork. You will want to add more charcoal every 20- 30 minutes to keep the temperature in the grill at about 325 degrees, and baste the chicken with marinade every ten minutes. Just before the chicken is done, flip it over onto its breast for additional browning if desired. 7. Remove to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes
