I barbecued with my friend Gwen this weekend and we decided to try a bunch of recipes. I made my Asian Chicken marinade, the Spanish Lemon Adobo Chicken marinade and a Blackened Cajun Chicken marinade (coming soon!). It was a lot of work, but so worth the effort!!!!!!! Everything turned out delicious, and we had this amazing variety!!! I just had to share this recipe! It is one of my new favorites. I discovered the Adobo seasoning in Santa Barbara, during Fiesta. I enjoyed the tacos soooo much I asked what they were seasoned with. You can find Adobo seasoning in your supermarket, usually in the Spanish or seasoning aisle...
