Old Recipe

[Jeffery Jachna]

Years ago I got a recipe on the porch that Kurt posted. It was a brine for chicken that included alot of citrus. I remember it had lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit squeezed into the brine, it also called for a block of ancho paste.  My daughter asked about it recently since she really liked that chicken. I looked through my files and can't find the recipe. Does anyone have a copy of it they would share. It has probably been at least 15 years or more since I got that recipe.

Thanks in advance

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.
