PINEAPPLE THRONE CHICKEN TACOS



Pineapple Throne Chicken Tacos image

We channeled the flavors of al pastor in our seasonings for this chicken that roast standing upright on the core of a pineapple--you get even cooking all around and the spices play to the sweet juicy fruit's taste. The trickiest part of this dish is making sure you cut the pineapple base flat, so the chicken doesn't tip over once it begins to cook. If it does, you can prop the bird up on the grill with a brick or other heatproof anchor.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2 teaspoons guajillo or ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch ground cloves
Kosher salt
1 chicken (about 4 pounds)
1 medium ripe pineapple
2 tablespoons achiote (annatto) paste
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch ground cloves
Kosher salt
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons agave or honey
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 ripe plum tomatoes, chopped
1 jalapeno, seeded if desired for less heat, finely chopped
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Shredded green cabbage, for serving
Cubed avocado, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
12 street taco-size corn or flour tortillas, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Combine the chile powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, cloves and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Rub all over the outside of the chicken and sprinkle a little in the cavity. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour or refrigerate up to overnight.
  • When you are ready to cook, prepare a grill for medium (350 to 375 degrees F) indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill). Fold a double thickness of aluminum foil to about 10 inches square and place in the center of the indirect heat (or use a disposable aluminum pan).
  • Cut the top from the pineapple and cut a small slice from the bottom, if needed, so the pineapple stands up firmly on its own. Use a serrated knife to cut down vertically, along the core to make a plank, stopping a little more than an inch from the base of the pineapple. Cut horizontally above the base to remove 1 plank of pineapple. Remove 3 more planks in the same manner--ending up with a firm base holding up the pineapple core. Cut the flesh from the pineapple. Coarsely chop 1 cup and set aside for the sauce. Cube the remaining pineapple for salsa, about 1 1/2 cups, and set aside.
  • Stuff the pineapple core in the cavity of the chicken to make it stand up straight. Place on the foil on the grill and cover the grill. Cook the chicken for 1 hour.
  • For the sauce: Meanwhile, melt the achiote paste in a small skillet over low heat, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water if it is too thick to melt (different brands have different textures). Once melted, add the garlic and cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Stir in the cumin, oregano, cloves and 1/2 teaspoon salt and remove from the heat. Transfer to a blender with the reserved 1 cup chopped pineapple, vinegar and agave. Blend to make a smooth sauce about the consistency of BBQ sauce. Season with salt. You will have about 1 1/2 cups. Divide the sauce between 2 bowls, reserving one bowl for basting and one for serving.
  • After 1 hour, brush the chicken with some of the basting sauce and re-cover the grill. Continue to cook, basting every 10 minutes, until the skin is deep golden brown and the chicken is cooked through and tender (an instant-read thermometer should read 165 degrees F in the thickest part of the thigh), 30 to 40 minutes more. Remove the chicken to a cutting board to rest for 10 minutes and remove the pineapple core.
  • For the salsa: While the chicken rests, toss the reserved 1 1/2 cups pineapple cubes in a medium bowl with the lime juice, oil, plum tomato, jalapeno, red onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Toss well. Add the cilantro and toss just to combine.
  • Cut the chicken into pieces, then carve the meat from the bones and chop into bite-size pieces. Serve with the salsa, cabbage, avocado, lime wedges and tortillas on the side. Drizzle the tacos with the reserved pineapple sauce.

6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cloves garlic, minced
One 6-ounce can 100% pure pineapple juice

Tips:

  • For maximum flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This allows the flavors to penetrate the chicken and makes it more tender.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and may result in dry, tough chicken.
  • Use a variety of toppings for your tacos. This will add flavor and texture to your tacos and make them more enjoyable.
  • Serve your tacos with a side of salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. This will allow your guests to customize their tacos to their liking.
  • Make your pineapple pico de gallo ahead of time. This will save you time when you're ready to assemble your tacos.

Conclusion:

These chicken tacos with pineapple pico de gallo are a delicious and easy meal that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is flavorful and tender, the pineapple pico de gallo is refreshing and tangy, and the tacos are topped with a variety of delicious toppings. Whether you're serving them for a party or just a weeknight dinner, these tacos are sure to be a hit.
