Red Meat Allergy Friendly Pollo Asado

Smoky, citrus-soaked, and deeply charred at the edges, this grilled chicken is the kind of dish that makes everyone hover near the grill. Bone-in thighs and drumsticks are bathed in a bold marinade of fresh orange and lime juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric, and smoked paprika — layers of flavor that sink in over hours and caramelize beautifully over high heat. For anyone navigating a red meat allergy, poultry is often the go-to protein, but it can feel repetitive without recipes that actually bring excitement to the table. This one absolutely delivers. The marinade does the heavy lifting, so by the time the chicken hits the grill or a hot oven, you're already most of the way to something spectacular. A final rest, a squeeze of lime, and a scatter of fresh cilantro pull everything together into a plate that looks and tastes like serious effort — even though the process is mostly hands-off. Whether you're cooking for a crowd or meal-prepping for the week, this is the kind of recipe that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.
