Peruvian Style Roast Chicken
- 1 whole Chicken
- 2 tbsp Aji panca (Perivian red pepper paste)
- 2 tbsp Grated garlic
- 1/2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tbsp Vinegar
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 1 dash Pepper
- 1 Dried oregano, coriander (or Krazy Salt))
- If you are using turkey, brine the turkey in salt water (about as salty as sea water, not included in ingredients) for 24 hours.
- You can omit this step if you are using chicken.
- Combine all of the ingredients except for the chicken or turkey, mix well, then generously rub into the bird.
- Roast in the oven.
- I have a "roast" function on my oven, so I use that.
- I have no idea what to do otherwise...
- When the skin starts to brown, and when a knife is inserted the juices run clear, then it's done!
- This is aji panca; it comes in a jar as a paste.
- You can find it at South American or ethnic food specialty stores.
- Since it can get moldy easily, I keep it in the freezer and scrape it out when I need some.
- Cut up the chicken and serve it with salad on a single plate.
- This was our Christmas turkey.
- For a 6.5 kg turkey, it took about 4 hours to roast.
- Maybe it was a bit well-done??
- Well that's the way the Peruvian in our family likes it.
- If you're cooking turkey, you can brine the bird for for up to a week in salt water.
- It will turn out amazingly juicy!
