\"ElChicken01\"<\/a>
My friend Bruce “Sr Plata” waits to place an order for a whole chicken at El Chicken on San Pedro and Central<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My environmentally conscious friend Bruce “Sr. Plata” Silver doesn’t have a large carbon footprint.\u00a0 No environmental activist would ever condemn him for fouling the air and water with a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions. Instead, Sr. Plata leaves large “carbon fingerprints,” the finger-licking kind you get from frequenting restaurants which specialize in pollo al carbon, chicken prepared over charcoal.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Pollo al carbon has spoiled Sr. Plata.\u00a0 He craves those juicy, golden-skinned birds speckled with black char, chicken so meaty and delicious it makes store-bought rotisserie chickens look positively anorexic in comparison.\u00a0 Who can blame Sr. Plata?\u00a0\u00a0 Pollo al carbon is absolutely addictive.\u00a0 It’s truly finger-licking good, much better (by legions) than you’ll find at the Colonel’s place.<\/span><\/p>\n

A whole chicken<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fortunately the Duke City has several outstanding purveyors of pollo al carbon. Sr. Plata’s current favorite is El Pollo Real Colombiano,<\/a> but when it comes to great chicken, he’s hardly monogamous.\u00a0 When the cleverly sobriqueted O-U-8-1-2 responded<\/a> to Sr. Plata’s plea for more pollo places to try, we knew we’d have to visit El Chicken, a food truck stationed on the southwest corner of San Pedro and Central.\u00a0 You can tell you’re getting close by the mouth-watering aroma emanating from the large yellow truck.\u00a0 The fragrant bouquet is a precursor of the flavors soon to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does El Chicken’s poultry taste so good?\u00a0 You can read why on the El Chicken food truck itself: “We start with whole, fresh chickens.\u00a0 We marinate them in our exclusive juices, herbs and spices.\u00a0 Then our grill masters slow roast them on Mexican mesquite charcoal (carbon).\u00a0 Our chickens take more time and cost more than others, but you will taste the difference<\/em>.”\u00a0 The wait for your order to be fulfilled will take no more than five minutes, but in the immortal paraphrased words of Carly Simon, anticipation will keep you waiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ElChicken03\"<\/a>
Standard sides with a whole chicken<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A sole picnic table makes up the entire dining area around the food truck, but if you head west on Central then north on Valencia, you’ll find a very nice park where you can eat on shaded picnic tables.\u00a0 Pollo al carbon makes for an excellent picnic lunch.\u00a0 A whole chicken will feed two people with regular appetites or one Sr. Plata who makes quick work of his favorite dish.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

The pollo al carbon is terrific with its enticing aroma wafting invitingly toward you.\u00a0 That aroma is imprinted on your hands as you pick up each moist, delicious piece.\u00a0 The marinade isn’t as prominent as the citrus marinade used at the aforementioned Pollo Real Colombiano and the chicken is only lightly salted, but that charcoal flavor certainly comes across.\u00a0 Perhaps that’s the point.\u00a0 Every piece of the chicken is succulent and replete with charcoal-infused flavor.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

A whole chicken order includes two incendiary salsas–a light green guacamole-based salsa and an even more fiery red salsa.\u00a0 They’re both rather strong and will dominate the flavor of the pollo so apply them judiciously.\u00a0 Better yet, create a sandwich from the accompanying sweet grilled onions and corn tortillas.\u00a0 The whole chicken also includes some of the very best beans in New Mexico.\u00a0 Seriously!\u00a0 The beans are infused with a smoky flavor and chunks of pork.\u00a0 The rice is moist and buttery.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

El Chicken is one of Albuquerque’s most unique and delicious options for increasing your own carbon fingerprints.\u00a0\u00a0 The pollo al carbon should come with a warning that you might not want to wash your hands after they’ve been handling the charcoal flavor imprinted chicken.<\/span><\/p>\n
