Achiote Chicken Roasted in Banana Leaves

I hope the banana leaves will entice—not discourage—you from making this recipe. The leaves may be tricky to find, but they are worth it.

This simple recipe can also be made with fish and shellfish. For this recipe, you will need five 12-inch squares of banana leaves.
