Team Ají Amarillo 💛 or Ají Verde 💚? ⏬RECIPE BELOW ⏬ I first discovered Peruvian chicken, properly known as Pollo a la Brasa or "chicken over coals", while living near D.C. and fell in LOVE (s/o Sardi’s iykyk). In Peru, maestros polleros (chicken masters) grill the chicken rotisserie-style over algarrobo charcoal, rendering the best tasting, juiciest chicken that has become the most popular dish in the country. Today, I'm attempting to replicate that on my Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill using a blend of Mesquite and Oak pellets. Serve up with a simple salad, thick-cut fries, and your choice of aji-mayo dipping sauce. Don't be put off by new-to-you ingredients - they're incredibly versatile, inexpensive, and a new staple in my home! Easy to find on Amazon or at a local Latin market. If you're on the west side of Los Angeles check out El Camaguey to grab 'em for cheap ($3 a pop).
