POLLO ASADO AL CARBON
Marinade:
1-1/2 Tbsps. ground ancho chile powder (optional)
1 tsp. dried oregano (orégano)
1 tsp. ground cumin (comino)
1/4 tsp. ground cloves (clavos)
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon (canela)
4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced or put through a garlic press (use more or less, to taste)
3 Tbsps. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp. salt

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

I've made this recipe several times now and it never disappoints. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the vegetables are roasted to perfection. I highly recommend this recipe.

This recipe was very easy to follow. I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make this dish without any problems. The chicken and vegetables turned out great.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the marinade and it turned out much better. I would recommend adding some extra flavor to the marinade if you like your food spicy.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. There were too many ingredients and steps involved. I ended up simplifying the recipe and it still turned out great.

This recipe is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the roasted vegetables, and they even ate the chicken without complaining. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from a previous meal, and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great! The chicken was still moist and flavorful, and the vegetables were delicious.

Not bad! This recipe was pretty good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the vegetables were roasted to perfection. I would have liked a bit more flavor in the marinade, but overall it was a solid recipe.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about this recipe. I found it to be very average. The chicken was okay, but the vegetables were bland. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was overcooked and dry, and the vegetables were burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Meh. This recipe was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the vegetables were undercooked. I wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but that's just a personal preference. I also found that the chicken was a bit dry. Overall, it was an okay recipe, but I would probably make some changes next time.

Delicious and easy to make. I used a store-bought marinade and it still turned out great. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the vegetables were roasted to perfection.

Amazing! This recipe deserves 10 stars. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the roasted vegetables were perfectly caramelized. I served it with rice and beans and it was a complete meal.

This recipe was a hit at my last party. I marinated the chicken for 24 hours and it was incredibly flavorful. The roasted vegetables were also delicious. I will definitely be making this again.

5 stars! This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out amazing. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly. The marinade was flavorful and the chicken was moist and tender.
