Is this like Pibil paste?

You can make your own Pibil marinade with the Achiote (Annatto) paste by adding other ingredients to it, look online for various recipes. It gives an authentic, slightly sweet and peppery, Mexican flavour and appearance to chicken if used on its own too.

I'm struggling to translate the mexican instructions of use to English what is the the recommended way to use this paste as a marinade for chicken?

Hi, very much similar to using oxo cubes or similar, the paste block will dissolve in hot water. You can either smear straight onto meats or dissolve in water - how much depends on how thick or lose you would like seasoning to be. Hope this helps, any queries just say Regards, Steve

Is this suitable for vegans?

Hi yes this is suitable for vegans. The ingredients are: water, annatto seed, corn flour, salt, garlic, spices, acetic acid and sodium benzoate as a preservative

Does this have any additives or preservative?

Hi, the ingredients are Ingredients 'WATER, ANNATTO SEED, CORN FLOUR, SALT, GARLIC SPICES, ACETIC ACID AND SODIUM BENZOATE AS PRESERVATIVES.' Hope this helps, any queries just say, regards Steve
