Pollo Asado is a mouth watering grilled Mexican chicken dish that is marinated in a flavorful combination of citrus juice, achiote paste, and spices, then grilled to perfection. Serve it up alongside your favorite side dishes for a guaranteed crowd-pleaser!
Step 1
In a large ziploc bag or non-reactive bowl, combine the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, garlic, achiote paste, cumin, oregano, coriander kosher salt, paprika, and black pepper.
Step 2
Add the chicken to the marinade and marinate for about one hour. Don’t marinate longer than 4 hours or the chicken will begin to break down from the citrus juice.
Step 3
When ready to grill, remove the chicken from the bag letting excess marinade drip off. Grill for about 5 minutes per side or until chicken is cooked through. Serve with fresh limes.
