🍗 Argentinian Baked Chicken Recipe (Pollo al Horno)

Description

Pollo al Horno, or Argentinian Baked Chicken, is a comforting family-style dish that’s simple yet bursting with flavor. The chicken is marinated in garlic, herbs, olive oil, and lemon, then baked until golden and tender. It’s served with roasted potatoes or vegetables — a true taste of Argentina’s home cooking.

🕒 Prep & Cook Time

  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cook time: 1 hour
  • Total time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Serves: 4–6 people

🥘 Ingredients

  • 1 whole chicken (about 3 lbs), cut into pieces
  • 4 potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Set oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Marinate the Chicken:
    In a large bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    Coat the chicken pieces thoroughly and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (longer for deeper flavor).

  3. Prepare the Baking Tray:
    Arrange potatoes and onions in a baking dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
    Place the marinated chicken pieces on top.

  4. Bake:
    Bake uncovered for 50–60 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken skin is crispy and golden and the juices run clear.

  5. Serve:
    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.
