Steps to make a Almost El Pollo Loco Chicken

Put all ingredients EXCEPT the Achiote oil in a blender. Liquefy. Add the oil and stir. Do not blend in the oil as it tends to change the consistency. I just stir it in after. Set aside.

Butterfly then quarter the chickens (remove spine and any innards). Cut a small slit near the thigh joint (it will cook through better in that area). Make sure they are washed and dried.

Put 2 quarters in a foil pan that fits almost exactly a whole chicken after it is quartered. You can use Zip-lock bags if you want. I find soaking them in a foil pan is better.

Add marinade and cover. Refrigerate for 3 hours minimum. You can go as long as 6 but be careful as marinading too long will start to dissolve the meat. Turn them once during marinade process.

Remove and roast on the grill (Green Egg/Kamado Joe best) over indirect heat at 375 degrees skin side up. Place them near the outside of the grill, breast side closest to the edge away from the main heat.

Once chicken is around 157 degrees or so, toss them on the direct flame for a bit for a nice char. This will bring the temp up to around 165 degrees and they are done.

Carve up and serve with rice and beans. Add a tomatillo salsa on the side.

Heat the oil and annatto seeds in a small skillet over medium heat just until the seeds give off a lively, steady sizzle. Don't overheat the mixture or the seeds will turn black and the oil a nasty green. Once they're sizzling away, pull the pan from the heat and let stand until the sizzling stops. Strain off as much of the oil as you are going to use right away. Store the rest for up to 4 days at room temperature in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

Low Calorie. My Quick Corn Bread

Corn bread originated in the frontier era in the U.S., when food was scarce and so corn flour was mixed with flour. This is very hearty and satisfying with the sweetness of the corn. Make sure to bake immediately after mixing the mixture with the dry ingredients. If time lapses before baking, the baking soda won't function well and the bread won't rise. Recipe by pogue

Sublime Non-Fried Creamed Corn Tofu Croquettes

My recipe for non-fried creamy tuna and tofu croquetteshas gotten great response, so I thought up another recipe using the same ratio of ingredients. The tofu smell disappears completely, and the texture of the filling is as creamy as one made with dairy products. This is a healthy tofu croquette recipe that I'm proud of. Since I made the texture creamy and melt-in-your-mouth soft, the filling is wet and hard to handle. For best results, make sure to chill it very, very well, and to form it into small patties that are less than 6 cm in diameter. The tips in Step 5 are also essential to making them easy to handle. If you want to increase the amount of tofu, either add more cake flour or increase the time spent evaporating the moisture. Recipe by Yu-hi

Corn Rice with the Silky Strings

I found out that the silky strings that you get inside corn on the cob are good for reducing bloating so now I always add them when making rice with corn. Please adjust the amount of salt to your taste. The kombu is optional, just add it if you want to - The corncob will help add more flavour to the rice so please make sure to add it in too. You can use fresh corn or boiled corn for this recipe, it's up to you. Recipe by Yuripomu
