Peruvian roast chicken - pollo a la brasa
Report
The simple marinade adds a light flavor and helps the chicken stay moist as it roasts. Perfect with Peruvian green sauce on the side.

Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon oil (can use olive oil or vegetable oil)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (I typically use low sodium)
- 1 teaspoon aji amarillo chili paste
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste, can omit if not using low sodium soy)
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon aji panca chili paste optional
- 2 lb bone in chicken thighs (or a little more)

Instructions
- Crush or grate the garlic then mix it with the other marinade ingredients (everything apart from the chicken) in a container roughly the size of the chicken or a freezer bag.
- Add the chicken to the container/bag and toss to ensure it is well coated in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate to marinade overnight.
- When ready to cook, bring the chicken out of the fridge as you preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
- Place a rack over a baking dish or baking sheet/tray (I recommend lined with foil for easier clean up) then place the chicken pieces, skin side up, on the rack.
- Roast the chicken for around 40 minutes until cooked through and the skin is crisp. Serve with aji verde (Peruvian green sauce) and eg fries and salad.
Notes
- You can also cook the chicken over a grill/BBQ - just cook on medium heat, starting skin side down then turning part way through so the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crisp.
- Recipe for aji verde sauce in separate post (it's really easy though and highly recommended with this!)
