Pollo A Las Brasas (Charcoal-Grilled Chicken On A Stick) Recipe

A simple way to cook chicken over the coals outdoors, pollo a las brasas uses sticks or large skewers to control the distance of the chicken from the heat. This version is from Sinaloa on the Pacific Coast in northwest Mexico and uses citrus, chiles, garlic, and spices as a marinade. Originally cooked over an open fire, this dish can also be made using a grill, smoker, rotisserie, or indoor oven. The sticks are optional.  Polla a las Brasas accompanied by a salsa fresca, white rice, some charred jalapeño or poblano chiles, and fresh lime, avocado, and homemade flour tortillas is a combination relished throughout the country.  Click here to see 7 Simple Grilling Recipes for Father's Day.
