7 ounces chipotle chiles in adobo
4 large garlic cloves
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 small whole chickens, cut into halves or 3 small whole chickens, cut into quarters
Avocado Salsa
3 ripe Hass avocadoes, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
kosher salt
1 lime, juice of
1/3 cup finely diced white onion
3 fresh cilantro stems, stemmed and chipped

1
In a food processor, puree the chipotles, garlic, oil, and salt. Wipe the chickens with paper towels. Thoroughly coat the pieces on all sides with a layer of the chipotle paste.
2
Place in a nonreative baking dish or in resealable bags and refrigerate for 2 hours, or as long as overnight.
3
Heat the grill to medium. With the lid open, grill the chicken on both sides until well marked but not burned- about 7 minutes per side. Turn the heat to low, close the lid, and cook the chicken, skin side up, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 165 degrees. (Alternatively, bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30 to 40 minutes.).
4
Serve with tortillas and salsa.
5
Avocado Salsa: Place the avocados in a bowl. Sprinkle with the salt an dlime juice; mix gently with the onion and cilantro (don't mash; it should look diced).
6
Note: this salsa should be served within 3 hours. To help it keep its color, press a piece of plastic wrap on the surface of the avocado and refrigerate until needed.
