COYOTAS POLLO ASADO RECIPE

Active Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

We love the taste and convenience of the pre-marinated Pollo Asado from Whole Foods, but there’s nothing like doing it yourself. Here’s the recipe, both ways.

INGREDIENTS

• 2x 1-pound packages pre-marinated “Pollo Asado” OR 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
• 1 teaspoons ground pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground clove
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 5 tablespoons olive oil

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

2. 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.

Grill the Chicken:
3. 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.

4. Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade, and place chicken on the grate over the coals.

5. 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.

6. Remove chicken from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

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