1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup canola oil
Juice of 1 lime
Juice of 1 orange
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon chile de arbol or cayenne
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 lb chicken breast
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Whisk the rice vinegar, canola oil, lime juice, orange juice, ancho, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, chile de arbol, ground cloves and garlic in a bowl. Place the chicken pieces on a large baking dish. Pour the vinegar mixture over the chicken and rub it into each piece of chicken. Cover the chicken and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 30 minutes before grilling. Remove the chicken from the vinegar mixture and place on a baking sheet. Heat a grill for indirect grilling. Add the wood chips to the coals or to a box and place on the gas briquettes. Close the grill cover and heat the grates, about 10 minutes. Place the chicken over the direct heat, skin-side down. Grill the chicken until golden brown and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook 5 minutes longer. Move the chicken to the cooler part of the grill, close the grill cover and continue grilling until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken registers 160 degrees F for white meat and 165 degrees F for dark meat, about 15 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a platter and loosely tent with foil until ready to serve.
