Pollo Asado al Carbon

Posts: 2,095
I love Mexican style Pollo Asado al Carbon (grilled chicken, typically cooked over a thin bed of coals, with a deep rich flavor from the spices and smoke). Decided to give it a try tonight.
Slowly brought Egg up to 325 dome and let temp really stabilize for about 90 minutes. Setup raised direct. Marinated chicken (recipe below) for three hours and cooked until 165 IT.
Served with its shaved brussel sprouts cooked in EVOO, salt, pepper and prosciutto.
Side of fresh Texas grapefruit which is amazing this time of year.
Marinade:
1-1/2 Tbsps. ground ancho chile powder
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
3 Tbsps. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tsp. salt

Wow! Pollo estupendo. Have you ever tried your marinate on a chuck roast? I'm thinking it would make a good pulled beef taco. Bookmarked.
Any road will take you there if you don't know where you're going.

I I marinaded overnight, turned and mixed it this morning then cooked it around 6pm at about 350F direct. My skin was slightly darker, but still had a really nice color. And, boy, it was good! I didn't stabilize the temperature as I was a bit rushed, but it came out fine. A very nice alternative to spice-rubbed/spatchcock chicken. My kids loved it, too. The skin was incredible - we all fought over it - and it was extremely moist. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!

@CPARKTX Thanks for posting! So, how was it? Looks great.
I definitely want to try that marinade. I'm always hesitant to leave meat in too much lime juice for too long, but it sounds like it works for you.
Think i'll try this the next time I want to Spatchcock. I usually go with the dry rub.
