Pollo al Horno en Mantequilla de Chile Ancho (Ancho Chilli Buttered Corn Fed Poussins)
Sundays wouldn’t be Sundays without a nice, cosy and homely meal and these corn fed poussins are just perfect. Poussins are small chickens and I prefer to cook with them as they are ready in less time than a normal size chicken.
This recipe is very simple, but delicious, I am a big believer on simple recipes, because they are the ones that taste better, less ingredients, but big flavour. So in this recipe we only need three ingredients, plus salt & pepper.
The poussins cook in less than an hour, so it is great for a quick and very impressive dinner.
Time 1 hr
Ingredients
- Corn fed poussins
- 2 or 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp ancho chilli powder

Listo!
Provecho!
These little chickens look so good!! I think I’d love that butter on just about anything!
