If you’re looking for the perfect summer dish, packed with citrus flavours and a kick of heat then this is for you. Wood-fired Achiote chicken by @ixta.belfrage, cooked in Dome.
Step 1:
Place all the marinade ingredients into a small bowl and mix well. Add the chicken legs to a large bowl and season generously with fine salt. Add the marinade and mix to coat. Leave to marinate for 3 hours at room temperature.
Step 2:
Add the pineapple juice, tangerine juice, mango, onions, garlic, allspice, cinnamon and guajillo to a cast iron pan. Arrange the chicken legs, skin side up and spaced apart in the tray.
Step 3:
Roast for 30 minutes in your Gozney Dome (or Roccbox) at 250°-300°C or until the skin is bubbling and lightly charred in patches. Turn the tray every now and then to make sure the chicken colours evenly.
Step 4:
Once the skin is crisp and lightly charred, cover the tray with foil and roast for another 10-15 mins. Remove the foil and roast for a final 5 mins, then remove the tray and let the chicken rest for 10 mins.
Step 5:
Discard the allspice, guajillo and cinnamon sticks. Arrange the chicken on a platter and pour the sauce, along with the onions, garlic and mango around the chicken. Squeeze over the lime and tangerine halves and serve.
