  • For the adobo sauce: In a blender, combine onion, garlic, tomato, guajillo chiles, white vinegar, orange juice, sea salt, and black pepper and blend until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, place chicken and season with salt and pepper. Using a brush or your hands, brush chicken with butter. Pour adobo sauce into the bowl completely covering the chicken. Let sit from 2 to 24 hours in the fridge.
  • On a griddle, place coal over direct heat and heat until lit on and smoky. Transfer coal to a round baking pan and place it under a rack. Place adobo chicken on top of the rack. Bake adobo chicken for 30 minutes at 392 ºF or until golden brown on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
  • For the blistered chiles: In a skillet, fry onion until caramelized. Add serrano chiles and cook for 5 minutes or until completely fried. Remove from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Place blistered chiles in a bowl, add seasoning sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and lime juice. Mix until completely incorporated.
  • Serve charboiled chicken adobo on a rack with blistered chiles and chips on the side.
