To use Lawry's Pollo Asado Seasoning Mix, simply open the packet and apply the seasoning generously to your chicken. For best results, rub the seasoning all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage. You can use it as a dry rub before cooking, or mix it with a small amount of oil or liquid to create a paste for marinating. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more intense flavor. This seasoning is versatile and can be used for baking, grilling, roasting, or pan-frying chicken.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain salt or pepper, this blend offers a complex flavor profile with notes of garlic, onion, and other spices characteristic of pollo asado. It provides a more authentic and layered taste than a simple spice mix, saving you the effort of measuring multiple individual seasonings.
