Pollo entero asado
Salar el pollo y dejarlo reposar hace que la piel quede crujiente y aporta sabor. Empezar a asarlo con la pechuga hacia abajo evita que la carne de la pechuga se seque. A veces asamos dos pollos a la vez para servir a seis personas y tener suficientes sobras para añadir a ensaladas y sándwiches, o saltearlas con cebolla picada para preparar tacos de pollo de última hora.
