Chivito (the diminutive of chivo goat) is the grilled meat of a young goat eaten in Argentina sometimes as part of an asado. Chivito differs from cabrito in that chivito is a slightly older animal with whose meat is less tender. A chivito has already begun to eat solid foods whereas the cabrito is still a suckling.The chivito is less gamey and has a more delicate flavour than the adult goat. It can be cooked a la parrilla (grilled) or a la cruz.
