1/4     cup     corn oil        
1/4     cup     butter  melted
1/4     cup     onion   minced
2       tablespoons     garlic  finely minced
1       teaspoon        annatto powder  OR
2       drops   yellow food coloring    
1/4     teaspoon        ground cumin    see note

Combine oil, butter, onion, garlic, annatto, cumin, lemon and orange 
juices in a large shallow pyrex pan.  Add chicken halves, turning well 
to coat.  Cover and marinate for several hours, or overnight.  

Remove the chicken from the marinade, then cook over medium coals on 
barbeque grill or in a broiler 4" from the source of heat.  Turn 
frequently and cook, turning and basting frequently, for about 25 
minutes or until browned on both sides.  

Cut chicken halves into serving pieces.  Serve with beans and rice, 
corn or flour tortillas and fresh salsa.
