  • 1/2 small white onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 dried chiles de arbol, crumbled (or 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper)
  • 1 teaspoon minced rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • 8 sturdy 12-inch rosemary sprigs, leaves on bottom half removed

Method

  • In a large bowl, combine the onion, garlic, chiles, minced rosemary, oregano, lemon juice and olive oil; set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add it to the bowl.
  • Mix well, cover and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Light a grill.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the rosemary skewers; discard the marinade.
  • Oil the grate and grill the chicken over moderate heat, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade, until golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
