1/4 cup ground pasilla chilies*
2 tablespoons ground ancho chilies*
1 tablespoon minced canned chipotle chilies**
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, chopped
3 2 3/4- to 3-pound chickens, halved, backbone removed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk oil, orange and lime juices, ground and canned chilies and garlic in 15x10x2-inch baking dish to blend. Mix in onion. Add chicken halves and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

    Step 2

    Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Remove chicken halves from marinade. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill until chicken is cooked through, turning occasionally, about 40 minutes.
