Pollo A La Brasa

This is a home-friendly version of the famous Peruvian roasted chicken, known for its incredibly flavorful marinade and crispy, dark skin. A blend of spices, chili paste, and vinegar creates a smoky, tangy crust while the meat stays juicy inside. It's a fantastic centerpiece for a meal, often served with french fries and a creamy dipping sauce.

Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 1

    Pat the whole chicken completely dry with paper towels, inside and out.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Ensuring the chicken skin is very dry is the key to getting it crispy during roasting.

  2. 2

    Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

  3. 3

    Blend the marinade ingredients until a smooth, thick paste forms.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to make sure everything is well combined.

  4. 4

    Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin of the breasts and thighs.

    Aproximativ 8 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Gently lift the skin with your fingers to create pockets for the marinade.

  5. 5

    Place the chicken in a large bowl or zip-top bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.

    Nota bucătarului: A longer marinating time will result in a more flavorful and tender chicken.

  6. 6

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and place a roasting rack inside a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Place the marinated chicken on the rack and roast until the skin is dark and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 74°C (165°F).

    Aproximativ 1 oră 15 min.

    Nota bucătarului: If the skin starts to get too dark before the chicken is cooked, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.

  8. 8

    Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before carving.

    Aproximativ 10 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist.

Păstrare
