Mixiotes is a beloved traditional Mexican barbecue technique that involves marinating meats and then wrapping them tightly in parchment or leaves before cooking. This approach is exemplified in a recipe for smoky chicken thighs cooked with oranges and onions. The tightly sealed packets create a steaming effect, resulting in chicken that is not only moist and tender but also infused with rich flavors, making it perfect for long cooking times without drying out. Chicken thighs are particularly well-suited to this method, producing a succulent, shreddy texture.
