    2      teaspoons     oregano
    1      Square    Achiote Paste
    1      tablespoon    kosher salt
4 ea green onion sliced
1/2 bunch cilantro, bruised
1/2 cup canola oil
(jalapeno, sliced)

  Mix the marinade ingredients well. Add chicken. I usually cut up a few of 
the citrus peels and toss em in the marinade too. You can leave them whole 
if you want, since I won't be around to yell at you for it!    Marinade 
overnite. Cook any way you want.

NOTES : Achiote Paste is ground annato seeds with other spices. It is
available in Latin American markets.

   3                    oranges
   1                    grapefruit
   3                    limes
   2                    lemons
   1                    bottle Corona beer
   3      tablespoons   New Mexican Chile -- ground
   2      tablespoons   granulated garlic
   1      teaspoon      cumin -- roasted and ground
   2      teaspoons     black pepper
   2      teaspoons     oregano
   3      tablespoons   Achiote Paste
   1      tablespoon    kosher salt

 Mix it all together and marinate your yard birds in it overnight.  The next day, smoke as you normally would (I like using oak and  mesquite) and use the marinade as a mop.  Experiment with this  as my ingredients change with my mood, but it always draws raves.
