Steps:
- Marinate the Chicken. Mix together 1/2 cup olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, sazon, achiote, paprika, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes and a bit of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to a large platter or dish and pour in the marinade. Alternatively, you can use a large sealable bag. Refrigerate and marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour. 3 hours is best.
- Grill the Chicken. Remove the chicken from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Heat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates. Sprinkle the chicken with extra sazon and achiote powder. Grill the chicken pieces 5 minutes per side.
- Roast the Chicken. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Set the grilled chicken into a baking dish or cast iron pan and roast the chicken for 20 minutes, or until the chicken cooks through, turning half way through and basting often with the reserved marinade. The chicken should measure 165 degrees F. internally when checked with a meat thermometer.

QUICK PICANTE SAUCE
Hot pepper sauce and a jalapeno pepper give this snappy sauce just the right amount of zip. It makes a great dip for tortilla chips or a tangy sauce for tacos and fajitas. This is always a big hit at parties and office gatherings. I even make it for my mother when she needs to bring a dip to a party. -Barbara Sellers, Shreveport, Louisiana

Tips:
- Use fresh, quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final dish will be.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken while cooking it through evenly.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Some popular options include rice, beans, vegetables, and tortillas.
