Ingredients

Scale
  1. 3 large chicken thighs
  2. 1/2 cup orange juice
  3. 1/4 cup sliced white onion
  4. 1 lemon
  5. 2 cloves of garlic
  6. 1 tbsp. chipotle
  7. 1/2 chili
  8. 1 tsp. Mexican oregano
  9. 1 tsp. cilantro
  10. 1 tbsp. paprika
  11. 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
  12. 1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
  13. 1 tsp. salt
  14. pinch of cumin, 2 cloves

Instructions

1. Slice the chili into thin rings, remove the zest of half a lemon.

2. Place the zest, chili, chopped onion and garlic in a marinade bowl. Add all the dry spices, salt, olive oil, orange juice and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Stir the marinade.

3. Place the chicken, stir and leave for 4 hours at room temperature or for 24 hours in the refrigerator.

4. Heat a grill pan and place the marinated thighs on it and grill for about 6 minutes. Turn the chicken over and continue cooking in the same way. Check the temperature inside the meat – it should be 175°F. If the temperature is lower, cover the pieces with foil and reduce the heat. Place the PolloAsado on a serving plate.

3. Serve chicken in bowls, burritos or in salads.
