Mexican Chipolte Chicken

Steve753

Make marinade by combining the following ingredients:
1 7-oz. can chipotles in adobo sauce
1 medium onion
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/2 c. cilantro
2 Tbsp. citrus juice (lime juice or orange juice)
2 tsp. salt
2-3 cups mayonnaise
I combined everything in the food processor to  make a smooth marinade.  But you could chop the onions and peppers by hand if you needed to.  Start with 2 cups of mayonnaise and taste the marinade to see how hot it is.  Add the third cup if you need to.  I used 3 cups in the chicken we made last weekend.
This makes enough marinade to coat 1 or 2 chickens cut up into pieces.  Place the chicken pieces in a bowl and pour the marinade over the pieces, turning them to be sure they are coated.  Refrigerate the chicken pieces at last 6 hours.
I used Mesquite to give a mild smoky flavor

Set the egg up for indirect cooking. Put it on for approximately 2 hours at 240 f
