PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SPICY CILANTRO SAUCE



Peruvian Roasted Chicken With Spicy Cilantro Sauce image

Burnished-skinned, deeply flavored and more than just a little spicy, it's no wonder that Peruvian chicken has become something of an obsession here in the United States. There are dozens of way to make this dish, but most recipes call for two different kinds of Peruvian chile pastes - aji amarilla and aji panca - to add the necessary complexity and heat. You can find them at South American markets and online. But in a pinch, you can substitute a red chile paste (like sriracha or sambal) for the aji amarillo, and ground pasilla chile powder for the aji panca. The flavors won't be traditional, but the chicken will still be tasty - especially when slathered with the irresistibly creamy, spicy cilantro sauce that goes alongside.

6 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon aji amarillo paste or another chile paste such as sriracha or sambal
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon aji panca paste or 1 teaspoon pasilla chile powder
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 (3 1/2- to 4 1/2-pound) chicken, halved (see Note) or 4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken parts
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
1 cup cilantro leaves and tender stems
3 to 4 jalapeños, seeded and diced
1/4 cup/1 ounce crumbled feta cheese
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, more to taste
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano or basil
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon aji amarillo or other chile paste (see headnote)
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Lime wedges, for garnish

Tips:

  • Prepare the marinade in advance: Marinating the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, allows the flavors to penetrate deeply and tenderizes the meat.
  • Use a flavorful spice blend: The combination of cumin, coriander, paprika, and chili powder creates a warm and savory flavor profile that complements the chicken perfectly.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: When grilling the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they cook evenly and don't steam.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out and ensure that it cooks through evenly.
  • Baste the chicken with the cilantro butter: This will add moisture and flavor to the chicken and help to keep it from sticking to the grill.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Allowing the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving will help the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

This spiced grilled chicken with cilantro butter is a flavorful and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a healthy snack. The combination of spices and the tangy cilantro butter creates a unique and delicious flavor that is sure to impress your taste buds.
