Step-by-Step Instructions for Pollo Asado
- In a large bowl or resealable bag, combine orange juice, lime juice, and olive oil. Add garlic, achiote powder, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to create marinade.
- Add chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill for indirect heat or bake at 400°F (200°C). Clean and oil the grates if grilling.
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess. Grill chicken over direct heat for about 20 minutes until charred, then move to indirect heat until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- If baking, place chip on a wire rack in a pan, bake skin-side up for 35-45 minutes until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Allow Pollo Asado to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with lime wedges and chopped cilantro.
