Private Selection Pollo Asado Chicken Thighs
What it is
These are boneless, skinless chicken thighs that have been marinated in a blend of spices and citrus, inspired by traditional Pollo Asado flavors. The marinade typically includes ingredients like achiote, cumin, garlic, and lime juice, giving the chicken a vibrant color and a zesty, savory taste. They are pre-portioned for convenience, making meal preparation straightforward. The chicken is ready to be cooked and enjoyed as part of a variety of dishes.
How people cook with it
These marinated chicken thighs are a versatile ingredient for quick and flavorful meals.

- Tacos and burritos
- Salad toppings
- Sandwich fillings
To prepare, you can cook these chicken thighs using several methods. Grilling or pan-searing will give them a nice char and lock in moisture. Baking in the oven is another simple option, especially if you're preparing a larger batch. For a faster meal, you can also cook them on the stovetop over medium-high heat until they are fully cooked through and slightly browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches a safe level before serving. The pre-marinated nature means they are ready to cook without additional seasoning.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain chicken thighs, these are pre-marinated with a distinct Pollo Asado flavor profile. This saves time on seasoning and marinating. The citrus and spice blend offers a tangier, more complex taste than unseasoned chicken, making it ideal for dishes where that specific flavor is desired.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the chicken thighs promptly. Store them in their original packaging or in an airtight container. Ensure they are kept cold to maintain freshness and safety. Consume within a few days of opening the package for best quality.
