Pollo Entero Asado A La Parrilla Recipes

POLLO A LA PARILLA (GRILLED CHICKEN)

Steps:

• For steak tacos I have the steak run through a machine so it is flat. I haven't tried pounding the chicken flat when making this but I think it may work better. Consider this an optional step, as every time I've made it without pounding it, it still comes out fantastic but it takes a while to cook. Maybe split breasts would be good.
• Season meat by sprinkling with Adobo, Cumin, and Pico de Gallo seasoning. I like to use the adobo that has cumin in it and if you choose to go this route, you don't need to use any extra cumin. If you like spicy food use more pico seasoning, if you like mild use a smaller amount.
• Rub seasoning into meat thoroughly.
• Layer meat, onions, and garlic in a deep pan or bowl. I have also begun layering lime slices along with it.
• Pour mango nectar and lime juice over meat so that the liquid just covers the top of the meat. I use about a 3 part mango nectar, 1 part lime juice mix.
• Let sit for several hours or over night.
• Cook on hot grill.
• Serve with warm tortillas and desired taco toppings.
• An alternate cooking method:.
• I had the guy at the meat counter cut up the chicken into taco meat, if you shop at a hispanic grocery store they'll know exactly what you mean if you ask them to cut it for tacos but basically its just cutting it into small chunks. I still marinaded everything the same way, rubbing the seasonings into the meat is more difficult but still doable. Instead of grilling the meat however, after everything marinaded I put the whole mixture, marinade and all in a slow cooker. I wouldn't use lime slices in the marinade for this though so you won't have to pick them out.

POLLO ENTERO ASADO A LA PARRILLA

Steps:

• Calienta la parrilla para cocinar a fuego indirecto: enciende un lado de la parrilla, dejando el otro lado sin encender. Ponle la tapa; calienta la parrilla a 350ºF.
• Recorta y desecha el exceso de grasa de los pollos. Exprime el jugo de los limones en un tazón pequeño. Reserva las mitades de limón para usarlas después. Añade la salsa para asar y la sazón al jugo de limón; mezcla bien todo. Coloca 2 mitades de limón y 2 dientes de ajo dentro de la cavidad de cada pollo.
• Coloca en el lado de la parrilla que no está encendido, los pollos con la pechuga hacia arriba. Cierra la tapa de la parrilla. Ásalos de 1-1/2 a 2 horas o hasta que se cocinen (temperatura interna de 165ºF); durante los últimos 20 min. a la parrilla, voltea los pollos y pincélalos de vez en cuando con la mezcla de salsa para asar. Antes de servir, saca de las cavidades de los pollos las mitades de limón y los dientes de ajo y deséchalos.
