INSTRUCTIONS
Note: Cotija is a Mexican hard crumbly cheese similar to feta but not as
salty. It is usually available in supermarkets in the Southwest or Latin
American markets around the country.
Prepare smoker for cold smoke. Place chickens on rack and cold smoke with
as little heat as possible for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from smoker and
place chickens in a large bowl. Add onion, garlic, chilies, cilantro,
pepper, salt and oil to bowl with chickens. Mix to combine. Marinate
overnight or at least 8 hours.
Prepare grill. Make sure grates are clean and lightly rubbed or brushed
with oil. Remove chicken from marinade and place skin side down on hot
grill. Cook for 4 minutes. Turn and grill other side for 3 minutes or until
chicken is cooked through. Remove from grill and keep warm.
Spoon a portion of the Drunken Black Beans in the middle of each warm
plate. Surround the beans with a ladle of the Smoked Tomato Ranchero. Place
the chicken breast slightly off center in the middle of the plate, showing
a small portion of beans. Top each chicken breast with a small spoon of
Tart Tomatillo Relish. Sprinkle the middle of each plate with Chateauguay
Queso and garnish with a large sprig of cilantro.
