This pollo asado features marinated chicken in a mixture of lime and orange juice, Mexican herbs and spices and achiote paste to achieve it’s signature red-orange color.
Let’s get started!

You can leave achiote paste out or substitute regular paprika in its place, but the flavor will be slightly different.
