Pollo Asado: No grill or griddle. Stir fry chicken pieces or whole?

Hi! So I've been following Ethan Chlebowski's Chipotole Pollo Asado recipe. I made it with Chicken Thighs before and charred them over the grill, but now I'm in a place where I only have access to woks, stainless steel, and non-stick pans. Recipe:https://www.cookwell.com/recipe/chipotle-s-pollo-asado-burrito The question is, since the whole point is to marinate the achiote paste with the chicken and char it, should I still bother to do that over the stovetop? Or should I just marinate cut up pieces of chicken breast/thigh/whatever and stir fry it? I'm not sure what the point of marinating the whole thing is if I'm not getting charring submitted by /u/DatingYella
