Categories     Chicken     Roast

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 teaspoons ground ancho chile powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
A big pinch of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped or crushed through a garlic press
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon salt, plus a little more for the onions
1 large chicken, about 3 lbs, butterflied
2 large bunches of green onions or knob onions
A little olive oil for brushing the onions
Grilled tomatillo salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Light a chimney 3/4 full of charcoal. While the charcoal is lighting, mix all the ingredients for the rub together in a small bowl. 2. When the charcoal is fully lit and covered in gray ash, pour coals out and arrange them on one side of the charcoal grate, keeping the other side empty. Place the chicken over the cool side of the grill, skin side down, and brush exposed side with the wet rub. Flip the chicken over and brush the other side with the rub. Cover the grill and cook, basting occasionally with any remaining rub, at 350 degrees until an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest part of the breast, about 45 minutes. Remove the chicken from the grill and allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. 3. While the chicken is resting, brush the onions with olive oil and season with salt. Place the onions over the hot side of the grill and cook until tender and browned, about 5 minutes per side. 4. To serve, cut the chicken into quarters, top with green onions and tomatillo salsa.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used less chili powder than the recipe called for. The chicken was still flavorful and delicious.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe, and they turned out great. The chicken was cooked through but still juicy.

I grilled the chicken instead of baking it, and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was so juicy and flavorful, and the grill marks added a nice smoky flavor.

The marinade for this chicken is amazing! It really infuses the chicken with flavor. I highly recommend marinating the chicken for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
