PERUVIAN GRILLED CHICKEN (POLLO A LA BRASA)
This iconic regional dish incorporates soy sauce, evidence of the strong influence of the Japanese and Chinese communities in Peru. The intensely flavored marinade, bright with lime juice and zesty with garlic, deeply seasons the meat, and the grill gives it a beautiful sear. We've provided a range for the portion size, because while some home cooks may be content with a quarter chicken per person, many Peruvian restaurants and takeout places serve each customer a half chicken (even here in the States, where chickens tend to be on the large side).

Steps:
- Marinate chicken:
- Blend soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and oil in a blender.
- Put chicken in a large sealable bag and add marinade. Seal bag and marinate, chilled, 8 to 24 hours.

- If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom and lid of grill. Light a large chimney starter full of charcoal (preferably hardwood). When coals are lit, dump them out along opposite sides of bottom rack, leaving a space free of coals (the size of the quartered chicken) in middle. When you can hold your hand 5 inches above the grill rack directly over coals for 3 to 4 seconds, coals will be medium-hot.

- Discard marinade, then pat chicken dry. Oil grill rack, then grill chicken over area with no coals (or over a turned-off burner), skin side down first, covered, turning over once, until cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes (add charcoal to maintain heat).

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade to infuse the chicken with delicious flavors. The marinade in this recipe includes garlic, cumin, oregano, and chili powder, but you can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the chicken while keeping the inside moist.
- Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. You can check the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
This Peruvian grilled chicken recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy grilled chicken. The flavorful marinade and simple cooking method result in a tender, juicy, and flavorful chicken that is perfect for any occasion. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad, and enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal.
