Pollo intero arrosto
Salare il pollo e lasciarlo riposare rende la pelle croccante e aggiunge sapore. Iniziare la cottura con il petto rivolto verso il basso evita che la carne del petto si secchi. A volte arrostiamo due polli alla volta per servire sei persone e avere abbastanza avanzi da aggiungere a insalate e panini, oppure da saltare con cipolle tritate per preparare tacos di pollo all’ultimo minuto.
