pollo asado
Spanish grilled bird
Pollo asado is roast chicken, Spanish-style—typically seasoned with garlic, citrus, cumin, and oregano, then roasted or grilled until the skin crisps.
The dish appears on Mexican and Latin American restaurant menus and in home cooking throughout the Americas: We picked up some pollo asado on the way home.
