However, knowing the words here does not equal understanding what you are getting. A whole, cut up chicken here is closer to 25 or more pieces! They literally mean cut-up! Oh well, glad I was making chicken soup this time.

Vocabulary Does NOT equal Understanding
I just had to laugh. I was so excited I knew the words for a whole, cut up chicken and was thrilled to find exactly what I wanted. In America a whole, cut up chicken is 8 pieces - 2 each of legs, thighs, breasts, and wings. Perfect for frying or other recipes that call for whole pieces.

ReplyDeleteYou can´t imagine how many times I´ve wished for a pollería here to be able to get my chicken cut up that way again. It´s perfect for pollo al ajillo.
ReplyDeleteNext time ask for "en cuartos" and "corte muslo y contra-muslo" you have your 8 pieces.
