THE MEXICAN GRILLED CHICKEN (POLLO ASADO) YOU WILL BE MAKING ALL SUMMER LONG! | SAM THE COOKING GUY

[@simongoldberger5209]

Just came home from finding a Mexican grocers here in London UK, where I randomly grabbed a pile of stuff including Achiote paste, came home thinking I'll find a use for it at some point 😂 and literally within an hour of me leaving the shop this recipe pops up on my notifications... Cheers Sam!!

Your phone was spying on you.

Deep state is watching you

[@milleripaman]

Thank you for reinforcing the "2 sauce rule". (Dirty Sauce: marinade in the bag) / (Clean Sauce: the marinade you put aside when you put the chicken in the bag). My brother and I love to grill. We got the skill from our father. When we put the "Clean Sauce" on (while flipping multiple times) my father always said, "You gotta keep the chicken happy. A dry chicken is a sad chicken." So now, we have to say it every time we cook chicken. Love that sauce. Gonna have to try that real soon. Thank you for the idea.

[@cragar]

Made it, before i even watched the video. Those ingredients belong together. Great marinade. Put it on the weber kettle & a small chunk of hickory. It was AMAZING! Wife loved it & so did I. Glad I came across your video!

[@catfishsiegel30]

I make this a lot. I vacuum marinate for 2 hrs and cook on smoker . I brush it every 15 minutes. Tender juicy and no left overs 😊😊😊

[@Chris-fo8wp]

Yes, Vac is the way to go, dry or wet!!

[@mossy723]

What temp ? I have a Traeger and a Masterbuilt, I’m thinking the Masterbuilt with charcoal is the way to go with this chicken.

[@catfishsiegel30]

@@mossy723 I use a offset at 225/250

[@adj789]

I was wondering if citrus and smoke would even be a good combination

[@catfishsiegel30]

@adj789 I use apple 🍎 wood and it tastes fantastic no left over 😋

[@Feverdream7777]

@4:43 A comment on cooking temp. If your temp is too high, the marinade burns in a really weird way. Instead of sweetness, it gives bitterness... it sucks. I learned the hard way. If you roast them in the normal oven, cook at around ~310 F, anything above 350 looses sweetness and causes bitterness. And yeah... it takes time.

[@ldistefano88]

My buddy made this the other day. Came out awesome and the flavor was killer. Great recipe and video!!

[@mattnelson4387]

You never disappoint. I made this yesterday and it is amazing!!!

[@gods959]

Out of all of the recipes I've seen you are the only one that basted the chicken with all of the seasoning over and over,just packing those good flavors on great job 👌😁❤️

[@Combo.gogetta]

loved this channel for years now, love what you boys do from london england

[@kyleswift5733]

My wife got me the 7" nakiri knife for Father's day. And I must say it is the best F@$king I've ever owned. I've been watching for years and love everything u guys do!! Thank you all so much.😊

[@psycold]

I eat a lot of chicken and I'm always looking for ways to cook it differently, will definitely give this a shot.

[@amberallen6046]

Definitely on my list to make, my oh my !!!!

[@shanks133]

Cornell Chicken!!!!!!! Let’s do this…..

[@michaelsullivan3581]

I'm stunned. No, really! Stunned! Max and Chance said it all!

[@traviswilkes6995]

I’ll be trying this for sure!

[@SportsFan0027]

I don’t think there’s another cooking channel that makes me wanna make the food he makes instantly. That Chicken looked divine. 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@kdogg82]

Same here... everytime!!! So I started watching on my lunch break instead so end up with a plan for dinner..

[@08hahahah]

100% agree... this stuff is freaking awesome

[@JamesDarden]

Smoking & Grilling with AB is pretty good. He's not as animated but his motto is taking the mystery out of cooking.

[@JuanMartinez-df1lc]

Your mamma❤

[@bryonkring5773]

Made it tonight and wrapped it into a burrito. Love the flavors. Thanks!

[@teddly9940]

I made it and it was very good.

[@derekdd5229]

Thanks, Sam. Have leg quarters marinating as I type.

[@mishka8180]

Having a cookout today for my birthday and I am definitely making that along with ribs, burgers, and all the fixings!!

[@jctarheels8]

Will be added to next week's menu! Wow! My spices have become those 10-15 you rely on... and its fantastic!

[@disciplebill]

I'm gonna try this on my smoker!

[@PastorTom2009]

Make Choripollo. My favorite.

[@davidhill2260]

I am definitely making this Sam. I have some quarters in the freezer. They are coming out tonight. Great stuff. Thank you.

[@masslubricat9850]

Crunchy and delicious. Amazing!

[@dyates6380]

OUTSTANDING Sam! I loved this as I tried it the other day. Fantastic, and thank you for showing how to make that marinade so easily with some simple and "on hand" things.

[@boring4606]

Cooking it now. Looks and smells delicious. Thank you

[@b-radkisuke8773]

Thank you for showing the step-by-step😮

[@b-radkisuke8773]

@user-vs5ny1qw1h hello is this Sam??

[@dldissolving2005]

I've been STUCK on that Peruvian chicken you made but this one looks like a game changer as well! So trying.

[@justal4844]

Good timing, Sam ! Going to the grocery now to pick up an orange, so I can start the marinade. Going to serve it with jasmine rice (with a garlic clove) and habanero-mango-mint-red onion guacamole & chips.

[@chazzzman4422]

Over a wood fire, make that so much better. Trying that this weekend. 🤘🤘🤘

[@gleneckert1]

My fav cooking channel cause you and your kids are insane🤣 Family first....love you guys👍👍👍

[@guysolis5843]

I like what you did there. You make things looks easy. I discovered Achiote paste a few weeks ago. I made the marinade the usual way and some of it I strained and used it to inject the chicken. I also put the marinade under the skin for good measure.. I did 2 whole chickens. Then I smoked the chicken with hickory and charred them on on my propane grill. It was the most juicy and delicious chicken ever... my wife's eyes glazed over...!

[@sandrarini4552]

Got me a new grill! I think this would be a keeper!

[@randyroth6115]

Most definitely I will make this. I can't wait. Awesome as always Sam

[@kevincisneros16]

That looks so good

[@pinkbabypatch]

We cooked this for our Sunday bbq today! …The only difference was I used 3 chicken quarters, marinated for 6 hrs and grilled over charcoal which took around 30 mins. It was FANTASTIC! It was juicy and I could really taste the flavors! My kids loved it, too! Thank you for another wonderful recipe! I am convinced we should visit one of your restaurants now. :) Also, from America’s finest city! Cheers! 😉

[@francisco4194]

I will definitely try this at home.👍

[@caseylevy7310]

Totally love the "boys' reaction"... will definitely have to make this one Sam!!!

[@skip123davis]

this looks amazing! i for sure have to make this, thanks!

[@BlakesPipes]

Watched over 200 videos and commented on 50 of your videos. 4 years. Thank you. Best channel ever.! Thank you. Watch one of mine. Only have three. One is less then 4 min. The other two are 35 min. Just learning. I am a motorcycle, pipe smokin,, physical therapist that had an injury and attempting to make a go in this industry. I am going to add you to my small world.

[@royt7577]

I made this recipe tonight, came out amazing. I did change it a little bit, by adding about a tablespoon of onion powder and a tablespoon of honey. Try it you won’t be disappointed. Cheers.

[@morakabian]

Your chicken recipes are awesome I love all your recipes. If you would please consider teaching us how to make a good Peri-Peri chicken. I have tried many chicken recipes from others and none come close to what you cook. We love what you do Best regards

[@JasonBischoff]

made this last night with butterflied chicken breast, so darn good the whole family loved it!

[@TheAngelChristine]

this looks like some good chicken!! good video!

[@johnh.2405]

Made the chicken tonight as published......was okay, thought it would be it would be more flavorful .......think it needed a little more kick. ..

[@Happilyretired65]

Ok best chicken ever!!! Huge hit! Thanks!

[@maghteridon5555]

Sam, you should make a video about recommended and must-have kitchen equipment! :D

[@Rottidog68]

6:42 Ooooor turn adjust the dial? 🤓 No, wait. Adjust the knob on the reach-around! 🤣

[@weshouck]

That looks so Sam Good!

[@bradybunch84a]

I cracked up over your rant at the end about both sides yelling at you over your shirt. Then you shouting I'm apolitical! Just cracked me up. Love your sense of humor. I probably watch your channel for the humor more than the cooking.

[@Loadmaster843]

We love Sam and ‘The Boys’ - we have for years! One thing to ask - could you make suggestions of sides to serve with the main dishes you make? Maybe even make some sides more?

[@robertcassey4014]

I miss the Pollo Asado restaurants in SoCal. Only place we can get anything close in Surprise AZ is El Pollo Loco… but the closest one is 15 miles away! Thank you so much for this one Sam. Can’t wait to give it a shot.

[@farcanal9238]

You're fast becoming one the best cooking channels, great food and entertainment to boot, I look forward to trying when it stops raining. I made the cinnamon breakfast burger for mother's Day. What a delight! 😁

[@farcanal9238]

@user-vs5ny1qw1h who are you?

[@bigsweep3603]

This already is the best cooking channel

[@bdittyclittykitty]

Excuse me, but he's been one of the best for years.

[@RodrigoVargas72]

Gracias, Sam, por respetar la cocina mexicana. ❤ Love you people.

[@ErnestoNetoFlores]

Great looking chicken. Cooking this over mesquite coals will take it to another level.

[@keefbartkus]

Goya makes achiote packets, available at most supermarkets, usually in the Mexican food aisle or sometimes in the bouillon isle. Their saffron (azafran) packet is good mixed into the asado marinade. The saffron packet also makes great rice for the side.

[@robertpalmer3166]

Make your own if you want to avoid a truckload of MSG.

[@tommystrickland6268]

Yes this stuff is magic

[@johnkozup9959]

Thanks for the heads up! Next time i go shopping i will get some.

[@MichaelAmerson]

That's not real achiote. It's MSG (not that I'm against using MSG!) with a little annatto in it. You gotta get the real stuff at a Mexican market and it usually comes in a little pasty brick.

[@keefbartkus]

Sam makes the great point that not everyone has access to a Mexican market. The Goya packets are easy to find and work well in pollo asado marinade. MSG is not as bad as you think, but if you're scared of it, don't use it.

[@hanitriarivorasoa2081]

I m gonna give this a try!!! Yummy

[@chestabee3823]

Just ordered The Holy Grill! Anxiously awaiting its arrival❤

[@christopherrichardwadedett4100]

AWESOME!!!

[@samandjen1]

We made this today OMG its insanely good!

[@FreshfrogmarketingUk]

Thanks Sam, gonna make this at the weekend.

[@alouellette4900]

You have, hands down, the most entertaining cooking videos. Love the great food, the humor, and the interaction with the boys. I wouldn't be surprised if this video would REACH AROUND 3.7 million people.

[@johnkozup9959]

Thanks for including the recipe in the comments. Many of us wish you'd do that for all your recipes. OK you can exclude techniques like steak fingers and such. Other than that flaw I am a loyal subscriber. Keep up the good works.

[@tpate2em]

Made this tonight and it was F-ing awesome!!! 🍺🍺

[@c.p.h.9264]

That chicken look goooood!

[@joc9128]

Finally you guys did this one

[@est189]

The best meal Sam every made was putting chili in a Fritos Corn Chips bag……Thank you Sam, I still make that meal all the time.😋

[@chrisbaldwin5170]

Sam u gotta tried broasted chicken ...pressure deep fried crispy goodness

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

BEST video in a while!!! I'm absolutely making this!

[@paulmullin522]

I've made a variation of this once a week since it came out!

[@michaelalferes7244]

Great recipe!

[@ronaldyeater3322]

This is just like mine except amounts lol. Like more garlic and lime, going to try it, I use white wine vinegar tho.

[@mwoz1188]

Gotta get the achiote past or annato powder using paprika is just lazy and I use a whole onion put the marinade in a blender and serve with a corn salad and Spanish rice

[@theprinceofliberia6793]

Ok boss I giving you subscription. U blew my mind, especially because you're one of only the few people who disclosed the secret aciao pase or whatever it's called. Even some Mexicans don't know about I, thank you boss

[@n1kolodian]

Something to just add that little extra: Put them on a pellet smoker at around 160 degrees for about an hour before putting them on the grill.

[@Niagra2011]

Awesome Sam. I will make this!

[@billyjojayne611]

Oh my god this was so good - even my husband eat and that curmudgeon doesn’t like anything.❤❤❤❤❤

[@brentwentfishing]

Reach around? Y'all must be in Cali... 🤣 I'm gonna make it!!

[@teddiematteson]

Reach around? Yes! I love that reference. But if it were me, the one doing the deed, I’d put the half-spatch pieces on the grill in spooning position so the reach around is actually possible. 😊

[@allenskier1582]

I made this last night Great Recipe... And a welcomed new flavor profile for chicken. Next time we are going to use this chicken with your asada recipe for tacos. Keep

[@CristenMasciave]

Sam love ya'll. Can you please show us how to make home made crab salad. I just like your personal touch on the dishes you make.

[@ppalm951]

Best practice is after removing chicken from marinade, put the marinade in a saucepan and bring just to a boil and turn off. This will kill all of the possible pathogens and make the marinade safer to brush on the meat being grilled. But looks delicious. Going to try this. THANKS SAM

[@nickitaylor7581]

Me and my fiance bought a grill just to make this chicken. Everybody in the neighborhood has been coming over to ask what we were cooking absolutely amazing

[@orioles0615]

May need to try this marinade for beer butt chicken

[@larrystuder8543]

Was just thinking about this the other day. I wondered if you had done a version of this.

[@bonckers]

Totally delicious…..YUM❤

[@pbk2792]

What kind of grapefruit juice u recommend?

[@andrewmontini5029]

Sam, you are A Nut !! And that’s ok, I really Appreciate what you are doing ! And by being you, I’m sure there are So many people that want to Cook what you are Cooking !! Well Done my Friend ! Awesome Job !!

[@SixpenceInc]

[@hutfund]

[@omarbarron1767]

[@jeffanderson4979]

We are gonna make it. I’m gonna reach around and make this beeeach

[@dannyfinfan]

[@robertguerrero8009]

Thanks for sharing, so how long was the grill time!

[@craighebert4655]

On halving the chicken, that I think is the most popular way took cook chicken in the BBQ community.

[@ddn79]

Who is that person in the kitchen always doing the dishes? We need a BTS!

[@funnyparadise7]

Can you please do the bonchon chicken?
