Good afternoon Rene, have a great day. Sooooo very sorry, I just realized I failed to wish you a good day earlier.

Hi Debby! Thank you...it's my all time favorite recipe for Carnitas! You could probably use chicken thighs and even rabbit (if you add a little extra fat)!

That would be a good recipe for rabbits but we don't raise those any more. So that would be a chicken recipe for me

Cooking time would be lower for chicken. Rabbit would likely be the same or in between the two.

I've only used pork, but I do think that chicken will be just as delicious!

Agreed and thank you Ron...I should have said that!

Any time!

It is fun to monkey with recipes.

That's how I came up with this one...changed things up until I felt it was perfect...my family really like it too! I have a niece that makes it more often than I do!

Next time I make them I'm going to try your recipe. The Tajin is problematic for us due to salt content, but I can make it without the salt and go from there. Ironically, I have the dried peppers and dried lime in my pantry. I may kick up the heat a bit as well with some chipolte. But I really like what I see and need to give it a shot. Never thought to broil it to kick up the flavor. I'm going to try that technique with some of my other recipes and see how it goes. Yup, I steal techniques all the time.

Bob, where did you find dried lime? I'd love to have that in my pantry.
