PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE



Peruvian Roasted Chicken Thighs with Creamy Avocado Sauce image

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.

Time 4h

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup lager-style beer
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced or grated
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon ground cumin
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
8 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup whole-milk queso fresco (4 ounces)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 large jalapeño pepper, seeded and roughly chopped
4 large garlic cloves
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and chopped (or 1/2 cup mashed)

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.
