Explain the recipe for Gallo en Chicha, mentioning the use of chicha and its history.

Since the creator doesn't have chicha, they will use homemade vinegar and half a beer for fermentation.

Prepare the chicken by marinating it overnight with half a beer, vinegar, and 3 ounces of vodka.

Gather ingredients: whole chicken, chicken seasoning, salt, ground cumin, achiote, garlic, vinegar, onion, tomato, green bell pepper, cilantro, celery, and spices for tamales.

Toast the spices on a hot skillet until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Combine the toasted spices, garlic, achiote, cumin, and a bit of water in a blender to create a marinade.

Blend the marinade in portions if necessary, adding water as needed to achieve a smooth consistency.

Mix the blended marinade with the chicken, beer, vinegar, and salt in a container, ensuring everything is well combined.

Leave the marinated chicken outside to ferment, explaining that the vinegar and alcohol will preserve it.

Taste the marinade and adjust seasoning with more salt or beer if necessary.
