Pollo Asado Mariposa - Spatchcock Chicken - Pit boss Austin XL

Subscribe to the channel www.youtube.co...
Pollo Asado Mariposa - Mexican Spatchcock Chicken
4 oz Anchiote Paste
1 bunch of cilantro
3 roma tomatoes
½ onion
2-3 garlic cloves
2 serrano chiles
1 tsp dried oregano
½ cup white distilled vinegar
2 limes
2 - 3 tsp salt
2 whole chickens (butchered spatchcock)
Add all of your marinade ingredients and blend well in a blender. Take your chicken and apply the marinade inside the skin and outside. Coat well and rub in, you want the chicken to be covered in the marinade.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 4 hours, I like to let it sit for at least 24 hours.
Pollo Asado is traditionally grilled over Mesquite charcoal. Even though I smoke this starting off with lower temperatures and increased to have it done in less then 2 hours. You can cook this many ways, hot and fast or low and slow.
What ever method you choose, just ensure the internal temp is 165 degrees in the breast. That is the thicken part of the chicken and you want it really close to 165. You do not want a dry chicken breast, its best to check it and check it often that way you end right at 165 degrees.
Once done, cut into sections and serve with rice, beans, tortillas and salsa. Oh yeah, don’t forget the lemon!
Enjoy!

hey man ive been searching for this recipe, its called pollo "regio" too, and even some monterrey spanish videos wouldnt give me this results. So im so grateful ive finally figured it out with your help. I would love to donate something for your beers at least, shoot me your paypal address or cashapp or whatever and GRACIAS CABRON!

[@saffloweroyl3663]

The link is broken 😢

[@CookingwithKirby]

Sorry, the recipe is in the post. Still in the transition of bring the recipes on KZbin.

[@katdeskinner]

I actually did this today, July 12, 2023. Of course, my wife wanted skinless, which did not allow the crispiness. I added one ingredient to yours, which is pineapple juice and it put it over the top. Thank you for the great idea. Hope you can try the pineapple trick. I put about one cup in the Ziploc bag with the marinade.

[@raydawson9698]

Thanks Kirby, made this last night and it was a hit with the family! Great flavor from that marinade. Will definitely be making this again although I really had to adjust my cooking time compared to yours. I also have a pit boss Austin XL which I just purchased. Getting used to the grill so I followed your time suggestion but it was nowhere close. The only thing I can figure is my chicken ( 5 lbs) was just larger than the chickens you used. I ended up cranking it up to 350 to get it done sooner. Still nice and juicy! No worries. Thanks again for a fantastic recipe. I can’t wait to try some of your other ones!

[@ThuhDude]

Daannnngggg. Kirby over there calling out the tio’s! 😂😂 This looks awesome Kirby. I’m definitely going to try this for my family 👍🏻

[@CookingwithKirby]

Haha ya getting drunk not watching the meat doesn't count. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy it Tyler, its delicious!

[@imperialeddie]

I live around 30 mins from mexicali as well! Good cook! Tacos de perrego..I mean borrego should be your next cook!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thats on my list Eddie, I have some cooks in front of it. I live in Brawley brotha, born and raised. Thank you, this was fantastic, basting the chicken with that salsa was delicious.

[@magmavr6]

😂

[@michaela.graffigna2996]

Kirby, I just thought I would let you know that adjusting the chimney top, screw it in or out, also has an effect on the temp. Screw it in or down, and it slows the heat escaping. That also slows the smoke from escaping. Unscrew it or raise it and heat, smoke es apes faster. Just a thought.

[@CookingwithKirby]

Hi Michael, after using that Pitboss for the few years and getting a new vertical one. If I am cooking anything 250 and lower, I will have that all the way down. Anything higher, I will open it up. But if its windy outside, closing it helps to keep the heat in. I cook chicken at 325, so I tend to open up the chimney to let some of that air and smoke to pass through.

[@TheDawgfathasBBQ]

ALL STAR cook bro! I'm loving this one!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thank you Alton, the flavor was awesome. I tore all 4 wings up lol.

[@Cantinatollo1]

I followed your recipe and made this spatchcock chicken on Saturday. It is fabulous and delicious. Thank you for sharing!!!

Kuddos to the chef! Fire bro. I used to eats this in San Diego and in Mexacali on my way to San Felipe.

[@christfollower122491]

Beautifully done!! I can’t wait to try this at home

Man o' man! You rock!! I'll drive the 1,300 miles from Colorado to Southern Cali to eat your food, man!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thank you, this comes out great everytime. I would love to cook you food, thats what got me into cooking in the first place. But if not, I hope you enjoy the recipe. Its really good with all the sides.

[@TuckerSandusky]

Thank you so much for this recipe. Made it tonight for my wife and kids and everyone loved it. I subbed jalapeños for the serranos just to tune it down for kids. Came out perfect.

[@thenugwhisperer]

At my local Mexican restaurant, Pollo Asado is chicken breast smothered in caramelized onions and cheese sauce.

[@guysolis5843]

I'm up here in Colorado and I just barely heard of Achiote Paste so I'll be giving that a try when I find it. Obliviously a great marinade but you showed one kicker I never see in YT cooks and that's getting the marinade under the skin..I'm subbing!

[@daddydutchbbq]

Damn mighty fine looking yard bird Kirby ! Love that color ! Great cook !

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thanks Kent, it was pretty good.

[@jorgeguia4959]

I tried your baja tacos and they came out good , im giving this receipe a shoot.. thank you for keeping it simple and delicius you really enjoy to teach

[@CookingwithKirby]

Those tacos are my go to recipe, I have family from the Tijuana area. The marisco's out there are delicious. This one is a good cook, that marinade is on point. I would suggest leaving it for a while. I had better results letting marinate over night.

[@christophersalas7772]

Ayyy!!! Bomb marinade! Smoked chicken breast came out fire!

[@ngatiramona]

Kirby you champion. The marinade colour,alone had me twitching excitedly Thank you to your friends dad for sharing the recipe. Appreciate the history, the genuineness of all your cooks. The sweet char on the birds, just evokes hunger. Stunning! #kirbyBanderas impressed our socks off.xoxo love to fam.

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thank you Mona, it was a yummy one. I hope your blessed my friend, as always stay beautiful.

[@obedmanuel7731]

Trying this tomorrow! I’m leaving my chicken marinating tonight. I know exactly what you mean about the burnt chicken my dad and tios make. Glad I have a smoker to try this with some mesquite. Cheers.

[@CookingwithKirby]

Mesquite wood lump charcoal is my favorite, I hope you enjoy it brotha. Thank you.

[@guysolis5843]

First time using the achiote paste so this will be interesting, I added probably twice the cilantro by mistake but I may try to inject some of the marinade into the chicken. I plan to smoke the chicken also, not sure what wood to use yet..I'll let you know how we like it and thanks for the recipe!

[@TheyJustCallMeFiggy]

Been considering picking up one of these. You’re killing it! Everything looks good

[@phat5355]

Another winner Kirby! I was hoping to see how you split the bird open. Thxs

[@CookingwithKirby]

I left it out because it was running a bit long, I am sorry for that. Took some gardening shears I use only for food. Cut along the spine clipping the rib cage. Then clean up any pokey spots from the rib cage. It was delicious, I hope you enjoy it. Thank you and stay saylge my friend.

I've been trying to duplicate that Baja style chicken marinade, but could never get it quite right. Now I know I've been missing the Anchiote paste! I'm going to be trying your recipe over mesquite coals, since I don't have a pellet grill.

[@dank9288639]

how did it turn out?

[@latigomorgan]

@@dank9288639 It turned out great. I marinated chicken thighs in it, then grilled them over mesquite. Some of the best chicken I've ever made.

Thanks for the video, chicken looks delicious bro. Gonna have to try this out!

[@kaivonmortazavi8656]

This looks really delicious - will have to try this weekend. I am curious about the heat level in your marinade. This looks awesome - will try this coming weekend. I will make one exactly per your direction and one a bit milder for children. How hot/spicy is this recipe and based on that how many Jalapeños to sub for Serrano peppers?

[@CookingwithKirby]

it's not spicy, right now Jalapeños are the winter harvest. Not spicy at all. But always use as much as you feel comfortable.

[@dulce4ever1975]

Gracias por compartir se mira delicioso voy a tener que prepararlo para probarlo.

Hi Kirby thank you for sharing this recipe. My family thoroughly enjoyed it and they are picky when it comes to eating chicken! Your advice on how to cook it on the pit boss was spot on 👌🏼. Do you have any advice on the technique to use on a Weber? I’m looking for a more crispy skin. Thank you!

Heck yeah here in Oklahoma you can't find good new mexico mexican food, I can't wait to try this.

[@elmonstrosmokers]

Its pretty good Jeremy, if you have large zip lock bags. its best to let them marinate in them. I didn't have any for the video. Thank you, let me know what you think when you try it.

[@rickzabala6020]

Pollo Asado Mariposa I've been to Mexican markets and seen this marinated chicken. But never purchased. Maybe I'll give it a try at the market hopefully I can find a market with quality Pollos. Then try this recipe to compare. I'd rather have organic chicken. But now I know what's in it. I've always been more of a dry rub person. I wonder if there is an authentic Pollo Asado Mariposa?? Thank you.

[@rayperez3426]

How long is the chicken supposed to rest before you serve it.

[@travisquintero8334]

I'm definitely going to try the marinade.... But I have no love for pellet cookers... The art of cooking with fire is lost with these" I'll do the work for you grills"!.. if I could make a recommendation... Try putting the chicken in a zippy bag with the marinade

[@CookingwithStephennJacklyn]

Hey I'm like this marinade the but what substitute can I use in place of the paste I definitely want to give a try. That chicken looks super delicious thanks for sharing my brother. You and the family have a wonderful weekend and stay safe.

[@CookingwithKirby]

Thank you Stephen, maybe 1 tbsp paprika and 1 tbsp of chili powder mixed. Thats should give it nice color and flavor.

[@rochim.1192]

Te pareces a Pepe Aguilar!!!!

[@maritza5808]

That looks amazing! Totally trying it this weekend! Question from someone who doesn't eat spicy, how spicy is the anchiote paste? And if it is spicy, is there a mild alternative? Thanks!

[@CookingwithKirby]

Hi Maritza, Anchiote paste is not spicy. It's made from Annatto seed and other spices.

Can this be accomplished on a vertical smoker ?

To control sodium, that is definitely a great thing to do. That way you just get the flavor from all of the ingredients. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Thank you, I hope you have a great rest of your weekend.

ya this recipe is great for smoking or grilling. I cook some version of this recipe all the time. The best thing to do is let it marinate, I like to let it marinate for 24 hours when I can. If you don't have much time, add a bit more salt. It doesn't transfer all the sodium in short marinades.

no hate by the way. also you should invest in some hotel pans , go to a restaurant depot or chefs toys and get some ,they come in handy when you want to marinate meats

I was already running late to get the food marinated, found out I was out of 2.5 gallon zip lock bags. Definitely there are better ways to marinate it, I just used what I had lol.
