“FIERY HOT” MEXICAN SPICE MIX ROASTED CHICKEN
(Roasted Mexican Spice Mix Rubbed Chicken)
A delicately flavored chicken dish inspired by a Mexican friend
who, in the 90’s, owned and served the best Taco and Burrito.
Austere site. Simple ambiance. Bucks-worth food. Friendly.
Then, habitue of Ams, Fil-Ams & Mexicans way back. Can’t forget.
The best I’ve ever tasted in his tiny stall just beneath San Francisco Bridge.
Yummy. Fiery tasteful. Fun. Bonding.

1 kilo whole cleaned chicken (no internals)

500 ml. water
100 ml. pineapple juice
10 ml. Tabasco sauce
10 grams brown sugar

5 grams garlic powder
2 grams nutmeg powder
2 grams coriander powder
3 grams chili powder
2 grams paprika powder
PROCEDURES:
1. Combine pineapple juice, Tabasco, water, salt and sugar of marinade.
Tumble well to dissolve solids.
2. Refrigerate (NOT FREEZE) and marinate chicken overnight.
Give little massaging & tumbling every 6 hours for full flavor absorption.
3. Mix all dry ingredients of meat rub. Tumble well for optimum blend.
4. Coat chicken thoroughly with meat rub ensuring all parts-outside & inside are coated.

OR until internal temperature of chicken on its middle part of legs
(where blood is usually evident ) is 85 deg. C

10. Smile and serve your delicacy with drippings on the side
