- Certainly! Chicken al Pastor is a delightful dish that is known for its flavorful marinated meat, usually served with pineapple, onions, and cilantro. Below is a recipe that you can try at home for making amazing Chicken al Pastor. The key is in the marinade, and allowing the chicken to marinate for enough time to absorb all the delicious flavors.
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 medium-sized pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium white onion, coarsely chopped
3 garlic cloves
2-3 dried guajillo chilies, seeds removed (substitute with ancho or pasilla chilies)
2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
For Serving:
Corn tortillas
Diced onions
Chopped cilantro
Sliced avocado
Lime wedges
Instructions:
Preparation: Start by rehydrating the guajillo chilies in hot water for about 15-20 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Make the Marinade: In a blender, combine the soaked chilies, half of the chopped pineapple, onion, garlic, chipotle in adobo sauce, cumin, oregano, paprika, orange juice, vinegar, and lime juice. Blend until smooth. Season the marinade with salt and pepper to your taste.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large dish or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.
Grill Pineapple: Meanwhile, grill the remaining pineapple pieces until they are charred and tender.
Rest the Chicken: Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve: Warm the corn tortillas on the grill. Serve the grilled chicken and pineapple on the tortillas, topped with diced onions, chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado. Offer lime wedges on the side for squeezing.
Enjoy your homemade Chicken al Pastor with friends and family! Remember that the longer you let the chicken marinate, the more flavorful it will be. Adjust the amount of chipotle in adobo sauce to control the heat level in the marinade. Affiliate links to my favorite products

Clean the grill with a grill brush, wipe down with wet rag. Then coat several folded paper towels with cooking oil and rub the grates generously. If not that’s like leaving a pan with burnt food and not even oiling it to cook more food. Just going by what professional grillers have shown in videos. Love your videos!
For the love of God never wash your chicken with soap and water. Who ever commented that doesn't know what they are talking about! You don't need to wash your chicken in general. It increases the risk of cross contamination.
You actually need to give a very good rinse of course leave off the soap but my daughter worked at a poultry plant and it’s treated with anti microbial chlorine wash. Also if they drop chicken on those gross floors it’s picked up and thrown back on the line or table, unwashed.
@@Tinker876 Washing chicken goes against health code. lol It causes contamination. Your daughter was definitely misinformed. I'd love to know where she worked so they can be reported. Check google if you don't believe me, better yet call your health department or ask literally any chef.
You can add queso fresco to your taco with salsa. Homemade corn tortillas is always better. Super easy to make and I’m not a cook lol.
I think you do fine - you seem to me to be a regular person cooking and that is refreshing and encouraging - and I like the dishes you have chosen to cook - it is all good stuff (but groceries are so darned expensive now) -- Thanks!
This looks delicious! Thank you.
Great job cooking, you are a fabulous cook. I’m going to try this recipe but with a flat grill. Thank you. 🐓❤
Great recipe Dave. Tip of the day.... next time you go to a garage sale find yourself a powerful large blender. You will love it and I'm sure you'll find one cheap.
MARRY ME !
the chili is pronounced WAH-HE-YO. I did not know yo had a cooing channel, just now about your resale channel.
hi, take the seeds and veins off the guajillo chile before you rehydrate, also, guajillo is totally not spicy at all, its more for color and little taste
The chicken is ready to flip when it doesn’t stick to the grill.
WHO THE HELL SAID WASH WITH SOAP N WATER ? 😂 Pls plssss dnt ever so that. When ppl say wash they just mean with water, lemon or lime or even vinagar . NEVER SOAP 🧼 😮
Dave, the hair in your shirt is gross. This is the second time.
