Chicken Tinga

Easy

Terrific marinade! Better than any I've ever purchased or made myself. Other than substituting habaneros for the scotch bonnets, I followed your recipe as written. ... My wife, who is heat-averse but likes jerked food (I know, go figure), really liked how it turned out. Thanks, Mike. ~ Charles Pascual
