About Achiote chicken
Achiote Chicken is a vibrant, flavorful dish rooted in Latin American and Caribbean cuisine, particularly popular in Mexico and Central America. It is traditionally marinated in annatto seed paste (achiote), citrus juices like orange and lime, garlic, and a mix of spices, which imbue the chicken with a bold, earthy flavor and a vibrant reddish-orange hue. The chicken is often grilled, roasted, or baked until tender and juicy. Achiote paste is rich in antioxidants, while citrus juices provide vitamin C, making this dish a nutritious choice. When prepared with lean cuts and minimal added oils, it can be lower in fat and calories, though certain preparations may include higher sodium levels due to seasoning. Typically paired with rice, beans, or fresh vegetables, Achiote Chicken is both a flavorful and moderately healthy option, depending on preparation methods.
