Grill JUICY Pollo Asado Al Carbon w/ These 2 Tips | Mexican Grilled Chicken Recipe 

I'm surprised your neighbors don't float over the fence drawn by the smell like in a cartoon.

He's the coolest dude, love the authentic Mexicana stuff. Shout out from Australia!!

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!!!

I buy everything based on reviews. Some said this was hard to put together ru-vid.comUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt some guy said 2 hours and 2 beers later. I didn't drink beer like I was going to. I didn't feel like going to the store. I'm assuming I would have had at least 3. I took my time. Stepped outside for a cigarette break a couple times but all in all it was about a 3 hour project for me but it wasn't like it was difficult or anything . Only pictures but everything is pretty organized and labeled although I didn't see any #s on the actual pieces like it shows in the diagrams. Only the screws were labeled. On the cardboard part of the packaging on the back side. I put it together in my living room too. It wasn't supposed to rain today but it's Michigan and I couldn't wait so I put it together in my living room. Without beer but beer would definitely have made it more fun that's for sure. I'm giving this a 5 for easy assembly. I'll update after it stops raining when I can take it out of my living room and cook some food on it. Hope this helps at least for people who think they can't put this together because I did and you can too . And there are extra screws. I got nervous and immediately came here to see if others had the same experience and they have. You're not doing it wrong. There will be extra screws. Be patient. Don't rush it. Drink beer. Happy assembling

Arnie, that chicken looks absolutely amazing. I’m surprised that your neighbors aren’t over to eat. Fantastic job. Pops Allgood.

When my old man taught me, there were no meat thermometers, other than oversized contraptions to measure the heat in a roast or soup. Keyboards only existed on a typewriter. BTW my Dad made some pretty good grilled/barbequed meat and veggies. Not perfect but always worth eating.

I’m looking for a grill like this. And I’m not wanting to sell my wife for one either. How are Lowe’s and Home Depot selling grills for like 400 and there’s hinges and more work to make and bend those grills. And these grill which I have only for one place that sell and they want like 1700.

That Chicken looks amazing!! So damn juicy! Chicken videos are hard, this looks fantastic! Thank you!

Great Video! Your Grilling methods were Spot on. We do lots of chicken like that in Northern California on Santa Maria Pits with Almond And Oak, Definitely a crowd pleaser, Nice work Primo🔥🔥🔥

I'm not sure how your channel came up on my videos pero, when you said South Texas, and I saw your BBQ, I was like, "no way this guy is from San Antonio or ATX." I was pretty sure you were from the RGV. Finally confirmed it today. Ya esta haciendo hambre with your videos! Saludos desde Harlingen brotha!

This is exactly why I subscribed to you, Arnie!! You always have fantastic content!! Please get a Gabbys Grill. And, show us all more open fire recipes on it!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I would love to learn your cooking techniques on one!!

Mr. Tex, I am a student at the Greybull High School in Greybull, Wyoming. We would be beyond grateful if you could come down (or up) to cook us some of your yummy food for our Spanish 1Class. I can't offer you much money, but I have about 3.50 in USD with your name on it, bud!

I guess that’s what I’m gonna doing this coming weekEnd grilled bbq chicken.

Removing that fat from the Ass end of the chicken really took my spatchcock chicken to another level. I like grilling it over mesquite lump charcoal which I suppose isn’t ideal since it burns so hot, but that one tip helped prevent burning and excess soot. 10/10 great advice ArnieTex

I find that leaving the backbone in is the most flavorful.

I live in central Texas , and we say sangwitch too!😂

Invite me Arnie lol

The smell of Pollos Asados Restaurants around where I live is the best. I even have a Molino right behind my house.

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 know what I'm eating this morning Grilled chicken yeah sounds delicious.....good 👌 🔥 😋 💯 🤪

Man you keep saying south tex. My mommas mom and dad were from Harlingen Love your ideas thanks

As an SA man, please crack to code on how Al Carbon does their chicken.

What is the name of the Market in Victoria Texas that carries WOW and OG. ?? Thanks Arnie Tex

This past weekend our local taqueria just started serving Pollo Asado. I can't wait to try it.

Man these look great! Going to have to burn some down some mesquite in the kettle and grill some birds.

Your title is messed up. Says cabon. Love your vids

Looks awesome. If you had a santa maria, it would be less work....end result still looks great

Great cook, Arnie Pollo Loco has nothing on you👍🏼😋

You should make a video of how to make a pozole verde

Saludos Arnie TX... 🤤

How did I miss your channel for so long? Great looking chicken!

Anybody know what kinda grill he's using?

Damn I’m a truck driver and you always make the best food, has me just wanting to ride home and start cooking hahaha

Great show and thanks for the info my friend and the food looks yummy 😋😋😋😋😋👋👋👋👋👋👌👌👌👏👏👏👏

I wish I could cook like this man everyday!

Love it, Arnie! Looks amazing 🔥

Man that looks good! I’ve been craving that chicken asada that they used to have at Taco Cabana so I’ll need to try this.

When he said not to listen to those keyboard haters saying they don’t need a meat thermometer & the reason they are typing is because they are still chewing on their over cooked chicken!! 😩😭🤣 BAM! I’m sold!… liking and subscribing. 😁

Looks good OG but I would marinate it overnight for bomb flavor!

I just found this guy. He is AWESOME! Tasty looking stuff!

Puro Shout Out @ArnieTex #Puro South Texas Pollo Asado! #Ese Arnie #Texas BBQ LEGEND #Enough Said! :) #Compadre :) #Keep The Smoke Light And Make It Work.

I like to spatchcock and cook it with hot foil wrapped bricks on the top to hold the chicken flat, whether on the grill or in my cast iron pan, brown on the stove top and finished in the oven. It cooks real even with this method and maybe just a bit faster but stays real juicy. 😋👍🏻👌🏻The first time I told my golf buddies I was making a jerked spatchcocked chicken, they looked at me kinda funny. 🤷‍♂️😏😬😖🤭🤫😆😉

Hanged a chicken yesterday with some wow tasted great.

I wish you could’ve seen my 88-year-old mother’s face when I told her about spatchcocking poultry. She said, “WHAT?” One day we went to Costco. In the parking lot, Mom asked me, “Are you going to ‘cockspatch’ the chicken today?” Great moments with my mom! 😂

Still chewing their dried out chicken 🤣

Your chicken makes me go craaaazy yahoo

Great information as always, Arnie...BTW... I will be ordering some more WOW soon!

Brother Arnie good morning here in Ontario cal. My mouth is watering 👍🏽🍻wow

Man the chicken looks killer, Arnie has a great attitude, and now I'm hungry! Alot of great people in the state of Texas and Arnie is one of em! Keep up the great videos brother! 🤙🦀🌴

This is me with my husband and the salsa just a little bit 😆 Hombres y sus salsas 😩 Great video and that chicken looked amazing 🤤

@9:40 😂 my favorite

I'm surprised you didn't use your big brisket spatula to flipply flip

Your show is amazing 💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏☝️

Man reminded me of the plaza en my Pueblo. Lol. So good. Can’t wait to make it my self.

Well guess what I’m doing tonight

👀...👍💯😎💯👍

Arnie, are you lookin for a boarder? Man I love watching you cook. I promise, I won't get in the way, I'm a 70 year old man.

I can't wait to grill up this summer . Keep making these good videos 👍

Shout out from NE Ohio. Your a beast man! We have the same passion! Always enjoy your videos!!! 🍻✌️♥️

Thanks Arnie. How big are the chickens you are using? I'm having a hard time finding the smaller 3-4 lb frying chickens to grill. My stores all seem to have the Giant 5-6lb hens. Any tips on where to buy the good smaller birds?

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.

Yessssss. Brotha! Love it. That’s the goods. Love that flat top grill too

I'd like to ask you opinion Arnie is it better to smoke a spatchcock chicken low and slow or grill on high heat?

Damn Arnie I'm bout to pull up primo I'll bring the salsa y cervezas!!!

Puro picnche 956 🌴🌴🌴

Pro tip: Instead of removing back bone, leave it in there and bbq it. Once done cooking, remove it and use it for making broth or soups. You can also vacuum seal it for later use. Not only it adds extra flavor but also prolongs its shelf/freezer life. Another Pro tip: By leaving backbone in, it makes easy to flip chicken while it's on the grill and the chicken integrity stays in-tact for even cook and presentation. After all, they don't call it a Back-bone for nothing.

Sanggwich👌🏼🔥🔥❤️

Hey Arnie! Love the video! We will definitely make it next weekend! Can you tell me what brand knife you used to cut the chicken please? Thanks again for all the great videos!!!

Awww man love the this plate creatin trucks had the color and crispy. Thank you man

Your an exceptional cook. Do you have a restaurant? I wish I could taste all that delicious pollo asado!!! Thank you for sharing all your delicious recipes!!!

I'm giving this a try for Cinco de mayo 🤷🏿‍♂️

Bad a$$ video. Great explanation. Thanks for keeping it Tejano. Now I’m hungry.

Thanks for the upload we’ve made it like this with my Mexican family but they’re called “ codornices” which I believe is quail bird

Hey Arnie where can I get the javelin pit?

I like making chicken skin chicharones👍🏼😎put them in tortillas with frijoles👍🏼and salsa👍🏼

Sunflower oil is nice and light and makes crispy fried things and is very healthy. Way better than corn or veg oil.

Primo, had some pollo and spanish rice (wife and daughter cooked it) with a nice coldy to finish it off, will try these techniques when I grill gain. Gracias....subscribed.

Arnie, you are wonderful! I make a pretty mean chicken also, but i was curious about basting and covering. And also, what kind if grill is that please?

Smoked Paprika? Wtf? This is definitely not a good representation of pollo asado. Needs anchiote. You’re still one of my favorite channels but this was way off to me.

There’s just something about a perfectly grilled Pollo Asado a la Carbon that I love. And your video shows it being done right! The church I attended often had 1/2 chicken plate sales. They were so good but then they started doing the 2 quarter legs instead of the 1/2 chicken. I like the way the 1/2 chicken looks better.

Seasoning looks good but I have a digestive disease and I don’t use seasonings that list “msg” and “spices”. Spices doesn’t list what is actually In the rub . I stopped using all Goya products because of the ingredients on the sazón. This is a pass for me

Arnie, you've done it again. I've already eaten and yet I'm hungry. Thanks for the lesson.

Good show my friend. Just subscribed. Good for a first time video. I love learning how to grill the perfect way. Any time anything on the grill. Hope you help me on that. By the way alli got is the Weber grill. Hope y get tips like should I keep the under window open or closed and how about the top windows how much open should I keep them for chicken or other meats thank you my friend hope to hear from you

"The reason they're still typing is that they're still chewing their over-cooked, dried-out chicken." 🤣😂

Not to hot! Maybe it is. LOL Doing this tonight on a kettle grill with 1 chicken. Just using salt and pepper because I am giving some to my neighbor and she is allergic to garlic.

You are true old school drinking original BUDWEISER😊

Love this and it looks so delicious… what type of grill are you using for this video I wasn’t able to figure it out. Thanks AT!!

That mustache was all I needed to see to know that chicken would be 🔥 Saludos from NJ

Leg quarters are on a big sale this week at my local super market so I may be doing this.

Amazing chicken I only have a gas grill. Do you have any suggestions on n how to make your chicken using a gas grill? Thanks Love from San Diego

Arnie is my favorite neighbor!

Have become one of my favorites to watch. Keep up the good work.

Great job of cutting and descent seasoning too, I prefer a marinade for an awesome taste.

It looks good man 👍👍..so tell me how far apart is the fire from the chicken..if you don't mind telling me..

Arnie this is beautiful. Thank you! Where did you get your open grill? How can I order one like yours?
