Wood Stone Rotisseries, GREAT for Peruvian Chicken

As cultures continue to find their way into North America we continue to enjoy the impact through food. It’s refreshing to enjoy food prepared and cooked from a different culture. One of those wonderful cultures is from the country of Peru. Today, in North America we get to enjoy Peruvian Chicken. Peruvian Chicken is simple rotisserie chicken, cooked over an open fire of charcoal or wood. The chicken is unique in its’ flavor due to the marinades and seasonings that they use. Most commonly you will see garlic, cumin, paprika, and citrus. One ingredient that many say make all the difference is the Aji Armarillo Pepper.

What truly sets Peruvian Chicken apart is the way that it’s cooked, in a rotisserie fueled by solid wood or mesquite charcoal. The magic happens when the chicken is cooked over an open flame creating a distinct flavor profile with smoke and carmelization. The rotisseries known for cooking these chickens in Peru do not often meet the listing standards in North America.
