Ingredients

Chicken Ingredients:

  • 1 Whole Roaster Chicken
  • ¼ cup of Agave Nectar for basting
  • Chopped Cilantro for garnish

Tequila Lime Marinade:

  • 2 tbsp of Southwestern Chile Rub
  • 2 tbsp of Achiote Paste
  • ¼ cup of Tequila
  • 12 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Lemon juiced
  • 2 Limes juiced
  • 1 Orange juiced
  • cup of Cilantro
  • 1 tbsp of Oregano

Instructions

  • In a bowl or bag, add your chicken. Blend together the Tequila Lime Marinade and pour over chicken. Place the chicken in the fridge to marinate for 4 hours but ideally overnight.
  • After marinating time is over, preheat your fire to a medium high temperature of 350F. Create it using a 3 zone cooking method with the rotisserie between the two fires.
  • Pull out your chicken and skewer onto the rotisserie spike. Secure and truss the chicken over the legs and wings.
  • Add your chicken to the rotisserie and begin cooking for about 2 hours or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165F at the thickest part. About 10 minutes before it is done, baste the outside with agave nectar.
  • Once chicken is done, pull off and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Top off with some chopped cilantro, lime juice and agave nectar. Enjoy!
