PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE
Rotisserie chicken, "pollo a la brasa" in Spanish, is hands-down one of the staple foods consumed in cities across Peru. Typically served with a simple side salad, French fries and the equally famous aji verde-a sauce made with Peruvian aji amarillo (yellow chile) and huacatay (a variety of black mint)-this dish is loved by those seeking a highly seasoned and very juicy chicken at affordable prices. The key to the recipe is in the marinade; restaurants in Peru keep their ingredients secret, but here I share my family recipe alongside an updated recipe for the aji verde. Roasting chicken thighs on a sheet pan makes it an easy dish to do at home. And since aji amarillo and huacatay are difficult ingredients to find in the States, I created a different but equally delicious green sauce that pairs great with the chicken. The sauce can also be used as a spread, dip or salad dressing.

Steps:
- For the chicken thighs: Whisk the beer, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl or baking dish. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for a minimum of 3 hours and up to overnight.
- When ready to roast, set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, discard the marinating liquid from the bowl or baking dish and drizzle the oil over the chicken to fully coat. Transfer chicken thighs skin-side up to a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes.
- While the chicken roasts, make the avocado green sauce: Combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are minced. Turn off the blender, add the avocado and blend until the sauce becomes smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute. Be careful to not over blend as the sauce will break. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with the avocado sauce.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350°F.
- Line a roasting pan with foil (makes for easier clean-up).
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Sit the chicken in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl.
- Roughly mash the avocado so that you still have some small chunks. Add the remaining stuffing ingredients, mix together and taste for seasoning.
- Stuff the mixture between the skin and flesh as best you can all over the chicken. It's OK if some is sticking out.
- Mix the ingredients for the coating and drizzle or brush the honey mixture all over the chicken skin.
- Bake the chicken for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on its size, basting occasionally with any juices in the pan or with any leftover honey mixture.
- Remove from oven when done and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before carving.
PETER'S AVOCADO CHICKEN
Another of hubby's experiments that we really enjoyed. He used a Jamie Oliver method of putting the mixture under the skin of the chicken. We used thighs but you could also use chicken breasts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350°F.

- Cut the avocado in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl.
- Roughly mash the avocado so that you still have some small chunks then add the zest and juice of lime, garlic, chili flakes and parsley. Mix together and taste for seasoning.
- Stuff the mixture between the skin and flesh of each chicken piece. It's OK if some is sticking out.
- Drizzle or brush the honey over the skin of each piece.
- Bring the ends of the foil up and fold over to enclose the chicken, leaving some space for circulation of steam.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes. Carefully open foil to allow steam to escape.
- Serve and enjoy!
