Grilled Roadside Whole Chicken - Mexican Everyday
By á-46
Heat one side of a gas grill to medium
- For the Marinade:
- Slow-grilling in Mexico is done directly over a bed of hardwood charcoal that’s quite a distance from the chicken; we can achieve a similar result by heating only part of a gas grill or by banking live coals to the sides.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground ancho chile powder (available from national companies such as McCormick)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano, preferably Mexican
- A big pinch of ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, preferably Mexican canela
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped or crushed through a garlic press
- 3 tablespoons vinegar (apple cider vinegar gives a Mexican flavor)
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon salt, plus a little more for the onions
- 1 large (3-pound) chicken (what some butchers call a large frying chicken, others call a small roasting chicken)
- A little vegetable or olive oil for brushing the onions
- 2 large bunches green onions, roots and wilted outer leaves removed
- 1 About 1 cup Roasted Tomatillo Salsa, for serving
