COYOTAS POLLO ASADO

 We love the taste and convenience of pre-marinated Pollo Asado, but it can't compare with the flavor when you make the marinade yourself. If you're short on time, cut the chicken in smaller pieces so the marinade penetrates more quickly.

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS

2 pounds boneless chicken thighs

1/4 cup orange juice

1/4 cup lime juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoons paprika

1 teaspoons oregano

¼ teaspoon ground clove

1 teaspoons ground pepper

2 teaspoons salt

5 tablespoons olive oil

12 SMALL COYOTAS TORTILLAS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

2. Marinate chicken: Place marinated chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over chicken. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.

3. Preheat Grill: Preheat your gas grill over high heat (500 degrees). If using charcoal, create a two-zone fire. When the grill is hot, scrub the grill grates with a wire brush. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade, and place chicken on the grate over the coals.

4. Grill chicken: Grill chicken for 4-5 minutes on the first side without moving or agitating to set char and ensure meat releases easily from the grill grates. Flip and continue cooking the chicken for another 4-5 minutes, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

5. Serve with frijoles, guacamole, and of course, COYOTAS tortillas!
