When i grew up in S, Calif we had a chicken fast food chain open up. Mind you the small desert town i grew up in only had 9000 people back then.
The chain was El Pollo Loco Chicken. Back then it was just marinated chicken and warm flour tortillas. The place evolved over the year with more food choices and expanded in the western states. (BTW) Any of you old timer Californians remember Shakeys pizza, Straw Hat pizza and Pioneer Chicken, Bobs Big Boy, Sambo's)
I'm making my old fav marinated chicken
My dry items.
Wet items.
Mix everything (except chicken) together.
I'm using a 2 gallon zip. (put on some sort of cookie sheet just in case it leaks.)
I left the limes in there, you can add oranges the same way. Zest em up some too
Going for an overnight marinade. Turn the bag over a few times during marinade to get all the chicken seasoned.
See ya tomorrow
Recipe.
Marinade: 1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon turmeric
1-2 pinches saflour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander (cilantro seed)
6 cloves garlic, minced
