Pollo Asado Recipe
A classic and flavorful roasted chicken dish, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Whole chicken
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 0.5 cup Orange juice freshly squeezed
- 0.25 cup Lime juice freshly squeezed
- 3 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
- In a small bowl, whisk together minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the whole chicken in a large roasting pan. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. You can also gently loosen the skin and rub some marinade underneath.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F) and the juices run clear. Baste the chicken with the pan juices every 20-25 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and moist chicken.
- Carve the Pollo Asado and serve hot. It pairs wonderfully with rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, you can pat the chicken very dry before marinating.
