| Sour-Orange Yucatán Chickens F&W | |
| 20 | garlic cloves, halved |
| 1/4 cup | vegetable oil |
| 1 1/3 cups | fresh orange juice |
| 1/2 cup | fresh lemon juice |
| 1/4 cup | pure ancho chile powder |
| 2 tablespoons | hot paprika |
| 4 teaspoons | kosher salt, plus more for seasoning |
| 2 teaspoons | ground cumin |
| Two 3 1/2-pound | chickens |
| 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon | honey |
Directions
In a food processor, mince the garlic with the vegetable oil. Add the orange and lemon juices, chile powder, paprika, salt and cumin and blend well.
Loosen the skin on the chicken breasts and around the legs. Put each chicken in a bowl and cover with the marinade. Rub the marinade under the skin and in the cavity. Turn the chickens breast side up and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°. Set the chickens breast side up in a large roasting pan and season with salt. Add the marinade to the pan, along with 1 cup of water. Bake for 1 hour. Spoon 1/4 cup of the pan juices into a small bowl and stir in 3 tablespoons of the honey; pour over the chickens and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the inner thighs registers 160°.
Drain the cavity juices into the roasting pan. Transfer the chickens to a carving board to rest for 10 minutes. Pour the pan juices into a saucepan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of honey, bring to a boil and season with salt. Carve the chickens and serve with the sauce.
