Source: El Pollo Restaurant, NY - I used to go there all the time when I lived on the upper east side. It was on 1st ave. and 90th street and it had the BEST Peruvian rotisserie chicken and terrific fried plaintain. Mmmm. I miss this! Note: It's not the El Pollo Loco chain recipe.

Followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out incredibly dry. Very disappointed.

The chicken came out a bit dry, but the flavor was still good. Maybe I'll try brining it next time.

The marinade is packed with flavor and really infuses the chicken. Even the leftovers were delicious. ?
