• Place dried guajillo chilis into a glass dish. Pour hot water over top, cover, and let stand for 20 minutes. Doing this will rehydrate the chilis and make them easier to blend.
• Once the chiles have rehydrated, add them along with the remaining marinade ingredients to a blender. Blend until all contents are well combined.
• Place chicken pieces into a large glass baking dish. Pour marinade over the top, making sure all parts are well coated. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and place into the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.
• Ready the charcoal grill for a two-zone, indirect cook.
• While the grill is heating up, remove pan with chicken from the fridge and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken from marinade and place the pieces onto the hottest part of the grill. Brush any excess marinade onto the chicken.Get a nice sear on the skins (about 3-5 minutes), turn , and do the same to the other side. Move chicken to the cooler part of the grill and finish cooking indirectly.
• Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. for breast meat, and 175 for thighs and legs, it's good to go.
• Remove chicken from the grill, place onto a serving platter, and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Steps:

• Whisk the rice vinegar, canola oil, lime juice, orange juice, ancho chile powder, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, chile de arbol, ground cloves and garlic in a bowl.
• Place the chicken pieces on a large baking dish. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and rub it into each piece of chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Remove the chicken from vinegar mixture and place on a baking sheet.
• Heat a grill for indirect grilling. Add the wood chips to the coals or to a wood chip box and place on the gas briquettes. Close the grill cover and heat the grates about 10 minutes.
• Place the chicken over the direct heat, skin-side down. Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred - about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 minutes longer. Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill, close the grill cover and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 degrees F for white meat and 165 degrees F for dark meat, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil.
• Serve with Relish:.
• Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a small pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and stir in the quinoa. Cover the pot and cook until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit covered. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
• Heat the grill to high for direct grilling. Grill corn (no directions given) - your preference. Brush the green onions with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the onions until soft and slightly charred, about 2 minutes each side. Remove the onions from the grill and coarsely chop. Stir the corn, beans, olive oil, and lime juice in a bowl. Add the quinoa and chopped green onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Keep the relish at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Stir in the cilantro and oregano and serve along with grilled chicken.

CHARCOAL GRILLED CORN WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHILE

Steps:

• Pull all of the husks back from the corn without removing it. Pull off and remove all the silk, using a soft brush to get the last stubborn strands. Return the husks to their original position and twist the tops.
• In a large deep bowl, cover the corn with cold water and weight down with a plate to keep them all submerged. Let the corn soak for 1 hour. Meanwhile, light a charcoal fire and let it burn until the coals are medium hot. Set the grill rack 4 inches from the hot coals. Lay the corn on the grill rack and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, turning frequently with tongs. Pull back some husks to test the kernels for doneness if desired. Remove from the grill, let cool for a few minutes and pull the husks back to the base again so that you can use them as a handle for picking up the corn. Set aside until ready to serve the rest of the meal. Brush the corn with the butter and return it to the grill rack for about 10 minutes, turning frequently, until nicely browned. Sprinkle the corn with the chile powder and pass the sour cream and cheese at the table for guests to help themselves.
