Update and Redux: C – Ever since we first made this recipe I have been craving it. It’s amazing.

J – I’m a little spatchcock crazy … according to Christina. I’m sure I got the Spanish wrong, too. But, we didn’t get the flavors wrong. Using this grilling method with the Mexican-spiced chicken is perfect. The grill is already a bit smoky, both naturally and because of all the … Continue reading
