Pollo asado is one of my all time favorite foods to eat. As a matter of fact I don’t know ANYONE who doesn’t love a perfectly cooked pollo asado. And in this video we’re gonna show you how most restaurants cook it and my favorite way to cook it in the backyard. We’re gonna spatchcock two birds – one with and one without the backbone and we’re also going to split one bird in half, which is the traditional Texas style pollo asado.
Now here’s a pro tip – the secret to perfect cooking is fire control, especially in open fire cooking. And the second pro tip – always use a meat thermometer for perfect, juicy chicken. Don’t listen to the keyboard haters that say they don’t need a meat thermometer for perfect cooking, the reason they’re typing is because they’re still chewing their overcooked dried out chicken! As long as you have a good recipe, good cooking technique and fire, your family and friends will love your barbecue. Now let’s get fired up and grill some pollo asado.

You got your arros y freoles but you forgot to roast a few jalapenos on the grill while you had the fire going.
The backbone is a good dog treat for bigger dogs. Clean up the gum line.
Thankyou😎
I’m as white as can be, but you’d swear my palette wasn’t. I cook and eat only authentic Mexican. I avoid the restaurants and go straight to the abuela, my mexican friends hook it up with recipes and food!
I made this chicken tonight on my Weber Kettle and it was some of the best chicken I've ever made! I cooked it over some good lump charcoal with a chunk or two of hickory. I let it cook on the indirect side for about 25 mins and gave it Arnie's flippity-flip technique for the last 10 minutes or so. It was super moist and very delicious – thanks for the awesome video!
Reminds me of pollo Loco best la fast food
Nice video arnie, where can I get one of those pits?? Awesome
Hi Arnie, I discovered an awesome marinade for chicken or other meats. Herdez Guacamole Salsa. Has everything of guac but also green chilis and other spices. I also add garlic and onion.
Where can I find the seasoning that you use.
Wow, yum looks so delicious.!!!
Where can I get one of those pits?
What grill is this?
Watching you cook traditional Mex-Tex food, reminds me of my time in the Air Force at Lackland AFB in the early 70's. I whenever possible, I would adventure away from the base and look for authentic cantinas to eat. I really miss the good food. Seeing you cook and learning your methods…I'm going to give it a try here at home!!!
did you even season the chicken… yikes….
a jeuvo. im pretty passionate about cooking pollo asado al carbon mesquite for a while now and im always looking how to up my game/knowledge from everywhere, not only on the chicken but also the tortilla,cebolla,chile, salsa that compliments with it so well. I'm still working on the arroz y frijol pero, awesome vid man 👍 thank you.
It's not the right way you're wrong

How high is the cooking surface from the coals??
I tried the wow seasoning for the first time. Marinated some drumsticks for 24 hours. Threw them on a charcoal fueled grill and it was an amazing flavor. Very delicious
Thanks for sharing, need to try the recipe.
Where can I find a grill like that?
