What it is
This is a pre-cooked, seasoned chicken dish. It is made with chicken thighs and legs that have been marinated and then roasted.

It comes in a convenient package for easy meal preparation.
How people cook with it
Pollo Asado is a versatile main course that can be enjoyed in many ways. It pairs well with a variety of side dishes.
- Serve over rice
- Add to tacos
- Include in salads
- Enjoy with roasted vegetables
To prepare, simply heat the Pollo Asado until it is thoroughly warmed. You can do this in an oven, on a stovetop, or in a microwave. For oven heating, place the chicken in a baking dish and heat at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. On the stovetop, you can warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If using a microwave, cover the dish and heat on high for a few minutes, checking for warmth.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain roasted chicken, Pollo Asado is pre-seasoned with a distinct Latin-inspired flavor profile. The marinade and roasting process create a tender texture and a richer taste compared to unseasoned or differently prepared chicken cuts.
How to keep the rest
