Colombina de pollo

 

Asado or roasted, is one of my favorite ways to eat chicken. This is one of those dishes of which you’ll find many variations all over the world. Colombina de poll  In Colombia, we season the chicken with our traditional seasonings and let it sit in the fridge overnight which makes the meat moist and the skin very flavorful.Colombian restaurants cook this style of chicken on horizontal rotisseries that you can see through the windows while walking on the streets. The smell of pollo asado is like heaven to me. Just writing this post makes me want to rush to the airport, travel to Medellín, and go to a restaurant called Kokoriko to eat a whole pollo asado with corn cakes(arepas) and salted potatoes(papa salada). I hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do.And that's why there is an enormous amount of different recipes for the famous arroz con pollo because it's not only made in Colombia, but all throughout Latin America since in essence it's the Creole version of the Spanish paella. In the U.S. it is very common to make it with chicken thighs and drumsticks that are cooked with the seasoned rice and served the same way. In Colombia we make it a little bit different because we mainly use chicken breasts that are shredded and seasoned well.
