  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

    Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with salad or bread.

🍽️ Serving Tips

  • Serve with Chimichurri Sauce for an authentic Argentinian twist.
  • Add carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini for a hearty one-pan meal.
  • Pairs perfectly with Malbec wine or Argentinian empanadas on the side.

❓ FAQs

Q1. Can I use chicken thighs or drumsticks instead of a whole chicken?
A1. Yes! Bone-in, skin-on thighs and drumsticks work beautifully and stay juicy when baked.

Q2. Can I make Pollo al Horno ahead of time?
A2. You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours in advance for even richer flavor.

Q3. Can I add vegetables to the tray?
A3. Absolutely! Bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots roast perfectly alongside the chicken.

Q4. How do I know when the chicken is done?
A4. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) and the skin should be golden and crisp.

Q5. Can I use boneless chicken?
A5. Yes, but reduce baking time to around 30–35 minutes to prevent drying out.
