Emiline,

Yes, Yucatan chicken sounds alright. And learning about other countries’ cuisines is always that I love to do. It’s been a nice experience learning about American cuisine. When I am rich I want to travel the world trying the original cuisine of every country. Hehehe

Hi Ben! Mucho gusto!

I have a small jar of annato seeds that I use to make oil for frying steak (when I make carne asada tacos), but I didn’t know it was the base for achiote! I’m really excited to try your recipe.

Somehow, I missed this post…I just had annato for the first time this week. There is this great little mexican place, called Casa Maya in St. Augustine – this is the real deal – I didn’t recognize most of the dishes on the menu. Always a good sign – AND it was the first time Roberto had Mexican food that he liked (he apparently is not fond of the Americanized stuff). I was so happy!

I agree that pork has a stronger taste and it goes better with achiote. I will have to make that soon. I really miss cochinita pibil. I haven’t eaten it in a couple of years.

Fruity,

Yes, you should really try it. I am sure you won’t be disappointed. You can let me know how it tasted afterwards.

Vicki,

Cochinita pibil is one of my mom’s favorite recipes. I remember it was a feast every time she made that. I will have to make that soon.

Don’t tell me that because I’m hungry. I love this dish, but better pork than chicken here because of the stronger flavor and stronger sauce.

I love reading about authentic Mexican cuisine. It’s something that I don’t know much about. Annatto seeds sound very interesting; I’ve never had them.

I love the word, Yucatan. Yucatan chicken. Sounds good, right?
