If you've never cooked with achiote paste, you're in for a treat! This roasted achiote chicken is juicy, tender, citrusy and packed with rich Mexican flavours from a homemade achiote paste. You can easily purchase them online, but it is so much better when made at home, as you can use fresher ingredients and control everything that goes into it.
Achiote paste is a popular seasoning widely used in Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean cuisines. It’s made with annatto seeds, garlic, oregano, spices, optional chillies, and citrus juice. Known for their distinctive red colour, earthy, zesty flavour, they are excellent as a marinade for meat. Store the prepared paste in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
