Someone requested some recipes for chicken. Here is an original recipe I came
up with years ago. It is the only one I use for chicken. I use it for both
grilling and smoking. The chicken comes out very tasty either way. Enjoy!

Kurt's Pollo Achiote
Recipe By : Kurt Lucas
Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Sauces And Rubs
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 oranges
1 grapefruit
3 limes
2 lemons
1 bottle Corona beer
3 tablespoons New Mexican Chile -- ground
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 teaspoon cumin, roasted and ground
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons oregano
3 tablespoons Achiote Paste
1 tablespoon kosher salt
Mix it all together and marinate your yardbirds in it overnight.
The next day, smoke as you normally would (I like using oak and
mesquite) and use the marinade as a mop. Experiment with this
as my ingredients change with my mood, but it always draws raves.
I have an annual 4th of July party at my house and do 24 chickens
like this and have been told these are the best my guests have ever
tasted.
