Pollo Asado

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Olive Oil

1/2 cup Orange Juice (freshly Squeezed If Possible; Save Juiced Orange Halves)

2 whole Lemons, Juiced

2 whole Limes, Juiced

4 whole Garlic, Cloves Peeled And Smashed

2 whole Onions, Peeled And Quartered

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Black Pepper

16 whole Chicken Legs (I used Chicken Breasts)

Flour or Corn Tortillas, Warmed

Toppings of Choice such as Pico De Gallo, Guacamole and Refried Beans

Directions:

In a bowl, combine olive oil, orange juice, lemons, limes, salt, pepper, and garlic cloves, saving juiced fruit.Whisk together.

Place chicken legs, juiced pieces of fruit, and quartered onions in large plastic bags or bowl. Pour marinade over the top, tossing to combine. Cover with plastic wrap (if using bowl) and marinate for at least two hours–several hours is better. Toss a few times during the marinating process.

Preheat oven to 180C. Arrange oven rack toward bottom of oven.

Lay chicken pieces on a broiler pan, or other baking dish with a drip tray. Broil for 25 minutes, turning once and marinating other side halfway through. Remove pan from oven when done.

Wrap tortillas in foil and warm in  oven while shredding or slicing chicken.

Serve chicken with warm tortillas, pico de gallo, beans, guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa verde.
