In Quintana Roo, in Mexico's Yucutan region, this chicken dish is quite popular. Bitter orange can be replaced with equal parts lemon juice and fresh squeezed orange juice. INGREDIENTS:
PREPARATION: Mix the red chile paste, garlic, salt and orange juice until well combined. Let chicken marinate in this mixture for a minimum of 2 hours. Pierce chicken with a fork to help moisten meat. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken on banana leaf and top with tomatoes, onions and epazote. Dot pieces of butter on top. Wrap up banana leaf over chicken and turn over so the weight of the chicken keeps the leaf closed. Or tie it up with oven-safe string. Place wrapped chicken on the top rack of oven over a large oven-safe bowl filled half way with water. Steam for 60-90 minutes depending on size of chicken pieces. Remove chicken from leaf and serve with fresh tomato, onion and chile.

The recipe I am using is very similar...I used chili powder instead of chili paste, and mine called for garlic oil. I made my own..ha, hope its ok.
Thanks for the tips. I'll let you guys know how it turns out, maybe a pic or two! Oh, and I couldn't find any damn banana leaves, so I am going to use tin foil.

 I'm going to scout around and see if I can find banana leaves here in Dallas. I've been looking for different recipes and this one looks like I might be able to swing. I've fallen into the pattern of making the same things lately and even I'm bored with them.

Mmmm....Pollo Pibil. I am pretty sure that I came across a Rachel Ray Pollo Pibil recipe on the internet somewhere a little while back.
Here at home, we can find banana leaves in Chinatown or in some of the Chinese grocery stores. Do you have a Chinatown Bufante? If all else fails, you could make tamale, you can easily get corn husks, right?  BTW, can you give me the name of that little 'hole in the wall' place that you and Sarita love so much in Playa? I would love to eat there. Thanks B.
