Chicken al Carbon with Cilantro Salsa
- 6 whole chicken breasts, boneless but with skin on
- Spicy Citrus Marinade, recipe follows
- Orange Cilantro Salsa, recipe follows
- 1 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 Morta chili or 3 Arbol chiles
- 1 cup Red Tomato Salsa, recipe follows
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Wash the chicken breasts and place in a large stainless steel or plastic container.
- Pour on the marinade, cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the grill or broiler until very hot.
- Grill the chicken breasts, skin side down on the grill, or skin side up in the broiler, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Then turn and cook the other side.
- Keep turning the chicken every minute or 2 to avoid blackening or sticking; total cooking time is 10 to 12 minutes for small breasts and 18 to 20 for larger breasts.
- (We always cook chicken breasts with the skin on for flavor.
- For skinless chicken, we just remove it before serving.)
- Serve hot on top of red rice and black beans.
- Top with the Orange Salsa.
- Combine the orange juice, lime juice and chile(s) in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the chili(s) is plump, about 5 minutes.
- Set aside to cool.
- Transfer the citrus mixture to a blender.
- Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth.
- Yield: 2 cups
