Chipotle Pollo Asado Recipe

Jay
One of the most flavorful grilled chicken dishes is Pollo Asado (Chipotle Copycat Recipe). Tender chicken marinated in a chipotle-based marinade with lime and orange juice! Not only is the chicken perfectly seasoned and tasty, but it is also incredibly simple to prepare!
