POLLO ASADO CON LLAJUA (CUMIN-GRILLED CHICKEN WITH SPICY SALSA)

Pollo Asado Con Llajua (Cumin-Grilled Chicken With Spicy Salsa) image

Adapted from Planet Barbecue. Llajua is an extremely hot Bolivian salsa. It is normally made with locoto (rocoto) peppers, but if you can't find them, feel free to use Scotch bonnets or jalapenos, depending on your heat tolerance. Bolivians claim that the peppers need to be cut exactly as described in the recipe, or the flavor will be different. Leave the seeds in if you want it even hotter. Prep time includes marinating time. The salsa may be made up to 2 hours in advance. Note: this recipe is best made with bone-in chicken breasts. If you use boneless, reduce cooking time accordingly.

Time 3h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed if possible; save juiced orange halves)
1/4 cup lemon juice (save the juiced fruit)
1/4 cup lime juice (save the juiced fruit)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 whole garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
16 whole chicken legs
2 whole onions, peeled and quartered
32 soft taco-size flour tortillas
Serving suggestions: pico de gallo, refried beans, store-bought chipotle salsa

Steps:

In a bowl, combine the olive oil, orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic cloves. Whisk together.
Place the chicken legs, juiced pieces of fruit and quartered onions in large plastic bags or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the top, tossing to combine. Cover with plastic wrap (if using bowl) or seal the bag up and marinate for at least 2 hours ... several hours is better. Toss a few times during the marinating process.
Preheat a grill. Grill the chicken legs until cooked all the way through, turning occasionally so the chicken is cooked on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes.
Separate the tortillas into 2 piles of 16, and then wrap each pile in foil and warm over the grill for 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve the chicken legs with the warm tortillas, pico de gallo, refried beans and chipotle salsa.
