Steps:
- Place chipotle chile pepper and ancho chile pepper in a bowl; pour in water. Cover bowl and let sit until peppers are softened, at least 10 to 12 hours. Drain water and remove seeds from peppers.
- Blend chile peppers, red onion, garlic, sea salt, cumin, oregano, and black pepper in a blender until a coarse paste forms; add olive oil and blend until marinade is smooth.
- Pound chicken thighs flat with a meat mallet and trim excess skin. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and add marinade. Turn chicken several times to coat. Seal bag and marinate at least 8 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill with top and bottom plates for medium-high heat. Remove chicken from bag and discard marinade.
- Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Cut into strips.

POLLO ASADO
Pollo Asado is easy, marinated, grilled or roasted chicken chock full of zippy, smoky, earthy, spicy Latin flavors! It's stand alone scrumptious or add it to tacos, burritos, or bowls! It's big on flavor and low on effort so it's perfect for all your summer cookouts or an easy weeknight meal - the marinade literally does all the work! The Pollo Asado is marinated in an intensely flavorful mixture of citrus, spices and achiote powder, which imparts its signature red-orange color and big flavor. You can grill the chicken or roast the chicken and use the marinade on any cut of chicken you like! Serve the Pollo Asada with warm tortillas, beans and/or your favorite side dishes such as cilantro lime rice, corn salad and pina colada fruit salad for the ultimate feast.

Steps:
- Whisk all of the Marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or freezer size plastic bag. Add chicken and turn to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator 4 to 24 hours. Let chicken sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before cooking. (If using chicken breasts, only marinate up to 12 hours or else it can become mushy.)
- Note: These instructions are for bone-in chicken thighs - see below for different cuts of chicken. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, 425-450°F, clean and grease grates with vegetable oil. Grill chicken skin side down first (if leaving on). Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and an internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
- Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Add chicken to baking sheet in a single layer so they aren't touching. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-35 minutes (depending on thickness), until the internal temperature reaches 175 degrees F.
- Serve pollo asado with warm tortillas, Mexican street corn (elotes) pina colada fruit salad and Mexican rice or cilantro lime rice. We also love it with avocado corn salsa, corn salsa, mango salsa, or pineapple salsa.
CITRUS CHIPOTLE MARINADE WITH A AVOCADO DIPPING SAUCE
This is a favorite of mine. I absolutely love this. The best part is you can adjust the spice .. just a little more or a little less chipoltes. Besides, use this with seafood, chicken or pork, it works well with anything. I love my simple avocado dipping sauce on the side which just tops this off. Take my dip and shrimp and add to a tortilla or taco shell with some slaw, tomatoes and you have a whole different dinner. Or top over a bed of romaine with olives, tomatoes, onions and thin out my dip with some milk to make a creamy dressing.

Steps:
- Marinade -- add everything in a large baggie and mix well by shaking. Add your chicken, shrimp, pork, fish, whatever you want. Remember, seafood takes less time. Scallops maybe 30 minutes, shrimp 1-2 hours, fish depending on the thickness 1-3 hours, chicken 4-8 hours, bone in, even over night, pork chops thin 4 hours, thick cut 6, tenderloin 8-12.
- Grilling -- Just prepare your dish for grilling. Outside grill or inside grill pan or even oven. Cook as you would normally do according to your recipe.
- Dipping Sauce -- Just puree everything in a small food processor until well blended. Chill and serve with your grilled dish.
- This is also a great dip for quesadillas, tacos, etc or use as a salad dressing.

CHIPOTLE MARINADE FOR GRILLED CHICKEN
This makes a thick, delicious paste that coats the chicken with tons of flavor. I like to make more than one batch at a time, apportioned into quart-sized ziplocs containing enough marinade for two chicken breasts. I freeze my chicken in the same bag with the marinade; the night before I intend to grill, I put the whole bag in the fridge and let it defrost / marinade overnight and all through the next day. I like to serve some fresh, homemade pico de gallo on top. Note: When I open a new can of chipotles, I always freeze them individually with the adobo sauce split evenly among each "batch." Therefore, I'm not positive about the amount of adobo sauce I add, but the 1 tablespoon listed below is a decent approximation!

Steps:
- Add all ingredients into the work bowl of a food processor.
- Process until pureed.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl or ziploc bag, add chicken, and let sit in marinade overnight.
- Grill chicken for 6-8 minutes per side.
Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use fresh citrus juices. Lemons, limes, and oranges are all excellent choices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. Chipotle powder, cumin, and paprika are all great options, but you can also add your own favorites.
- If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes. However, the longer you marinate it, the more flavorful it will be.
- When grilling the chicken, be sure to cook it over medium heat. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad.
