2. Prepare the atchuete basting oil by heating the oil in a pan and frying the atchuete until oil turns red. Discard the seeds and set aside the oil.

Good to Know: 

Grilling, as well as baking, poaching, and steaming, is a healthful cooking technique that aids in lowering the fat content of a dish.

Good to Remember:
Chicken should be cooked in higher heat for a short period of time.  This makes chicken skin crispy and seals in the juices to make moist, tender meat.  However, moderation should be considered in eating chicken skin as this contains saturated fat.
