Why is Mexican style rotisserie chicken so goddamned delicious?

>> No.5678095

They load it with spices to cover the taste and overcook the shit out of it.

The way you say all of that makes it sound like Mexican rotisserie chicken is bad

Cuz it was brought there by Neapolitan immigrants. All Hispanic-American countries with a lot of Neapolitan immigrants have really fucking good rotisserie chicken. Uruguay, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil etc etc etc all glorious. Pic related: it's Neapolitan rotisserie chicken.
Notice the pan of potatoes at the bottom. The taters are getting basted with delicious, chickeny juices as they roast.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Naples might've gotten it from the Spaniards... but then, rotisserie chicken in Colombia and Chile isn't very good... so idklol.

This is likely the single fast food I miss most from home. :-(
When last I was there, I could get half a chicken, a side of potatoes and a mineral water for €5 at several places throughout the city. :-(
Much cry.

Worst rotisserie chicken I ever ate in my life was in Guadalajara. I was tough as jerky and tasted like ass. Funny thing is it looked good on the turner.

Shame English doesn't have the palatal lateral approximant. I can't think of any way to properly render the sound of Spanish Ll/Italian Gl/Portuguese Lh without resorting to IPA notation. Closest I can think of is "poh-l'yo," where the apostrophe implies a softening of its preceding L... but without knowing what a soft L sounds like because it's entirely absent from nearly all dialects of English (it exists in English as spoken in some Gaeltacht communities and small pockets in southern Scotland and Northern England), even that's meaningless to English-speakers.

Where did you live? I'm from Vomero originally but lived in Posillipo Alto as well as just outside Naples in Pinetamare/Villaggio Coppola. I have familiy in Fuorigrotta, Agnano and Bagnoli to this day but I've long since left Italy. As much as I love my family, my entire country's gone to shit.

Anything that can be quickly and easily prepared at home but is more often ordered out than homemade is fast food IMO. Is that wrong?

Pic related is another fast food from home. The original was like a cheesesteak but on fresh baked "bread" (really, it's pizza dough baked plain and used as bread) but comes in about 17kajillion variations now. It's called 'panuozzo' which kinda translates as 'bastard bread' or 'piece of shit bread' or something (the -ozzo/-accio suffixes imply something bad).
I think American "panini" is an odd adaptation of panuozzo since the shapes are similar. Panino (plural panini) is a general name for anything between a roll or bun with tramezzino for anything between two slices of bread even though all three (panuozzo, panino and tramezzino) would be called 'sandwich' in English.
Yes: Italian is this fucking picky with food names.

No, it is so very very right.
Fast food here is mostly precooked shit using the worst quality... EVERYTHING, leaving it under a heat lamp until its ordered several hours later only to be microwaved and served.

You warmed the heart of a spanish-speaking anti-yeista.

That sounds... ghastly. Heat lamps aren't unheard of in Italy, mostly at high-volume pizza-by-the-slice sorts of places but I don't think I've ever seen a microwaved ready meal passed off as fast food.

Another word on the -ozzo suffix: it's kinda endearing, too. Like saying "you asshole" while hugging someone who just surprised you. So it's called 'a little bastard' but in a loving, facetious way.

It's a losing battle, Anon. We're in the minority. Our way of thinking will eventually die out. Long live incorrect pronunciations, poor grammar and popular usage usurping definitive meaning!

Do they put the potatoes at least like halfway throughout the cooking? Would be pretty weird to have raw chicken juices on there

>> No.5678992

>>5678987
I don't think it would matter, really. The heat will cook the juices through after a while on the potatoes, so there's nothing to worry of.
To answer though: I don't know. I've never to my memory seen them actually put the potatoes into the oven: they've always just been there whenever I get to the takeaway.

I have been wanting to try this method with duck and some red potatoes. Never tried rotisserie duck before, though.

The juice is just the fat rendering down. Anything like salmonella is killed during the cooking process so its not going to matter.

Makes sense. Thanks.

Is there anywhere like a chain restaurant that does this? I have a la granja near me (extremely similar to pollo tropical), they use a cooker like that but don't do that with potatoes.

Fuck yes, I get mine at this place. They not only put the potatoes but jalepeños down, too. The fire is of pure mesquite wood. They are awsome. Dem chicken fat potatoes.
Sonora, Mexico.
There are a bunch of chicken joints here, and the quality runs from 0 to 10. This place is a 10.
