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.

  • CHICKEN MARINADE: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Season to taste with salt and pepper; I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Halve chicken breasts horizontally. Using a meat mallet or the bottom of your frying pan, pound breasts to even thickness (you don't want the meat super flat, just even in thickness). Place the prepared chicken in a large plastic bag and pour the marinade mix over. Seal the bag without air and knead to coat all the chicken in the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes up to 6 hours. If possible, make the green sauce now too, so it has a chance to sit and flavors can intensify.
  • COOK CHICKEN: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees F.) Generously oil the grill (I drench a rolled-up paper towel in vegetable oil and, holding it with tongs, rub it over the grill grates. Don't skip this step.) (Grill pan: add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan) Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Discard any leftover marinade. Grill for 10-12 minutes, flipping once halfway through, or until chicken juices run clear and internal temperature is at 165 degrees F.
  • SALAD: Grill the corn on the cob and red pepper (See Note 2). In a Mason jar, add the red wine vinegar, lime juice, honey, olive oil, and salt + pepper to taste (I add 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Shake to combine. In a bowl, toss the arugula, corn cut off the grilled cob (slightly cooled), and chopped bell pepper. Add dressing right before serving (you may not use all the dressing, but we like a generous amount). Toss to combine, taste for seasoning.
  • SAUCE: In a high-powered blender, add the following: jalapenos, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice, and sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper). Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust to personal preference. Note: the heat increases as the sauce sits.

  • Using a garlic press, finely mince the garlic and place it in the bowl. Add oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, paprika, coriander, oregano and salt and optional soy sauce. Stir. Toss it with the chicken in a bowl, coating all sides well, and/ or brush it onto the portobellos. Marinate while the grill heats up or overnight for more flavor. (The portobellos will soak up the marinade so if marinating overnight go lightly, reapply before grilling.)
