Welcome Back!!!!
First things first! You will need a blender or food processor or Ninja for this recipe! This is a Peruvian style roast chicken without the rotisserie! I love Peruvian food and have been eating Peruvian chicken for years so I am happy to have gotten a recipe to make it at home. The key is this wet rub you put on the chicken before roasting it, and then the wonderful green sauce that goes with the chicken. The sauce has a lot of cilantro (that’s what makes it green) and a unique ingredient called ‘Aji Amarillo paste’. It’s also labelled yellow pepper paste some times in the store. I got mine on Amazon. This recipe calls for one serrano pepper or jalapeno pepper in the sauce, but you can omit if you don’t like hot peppers. This green sauce is good on everything, like tacos, beef, fish, pork, french fries, potatoes beans and rice, etc. I love making this and keeping it in the fridge for use later. it can liven up any dish…
Recipe for wet rub
* 6 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 t dried oregano
* 1 T paprika
* 1 T smoked paprika
* 1/4 cup ground cumin
* 1 t freshly ground black pepper
* 1/4 cup soy sauce
* 3 tbsp vegetable oil
* 1/4 cup white vinegar
Oven on 475 F
Make sure chicken is thawed out completely before doing this recipe!!! this is so important!! That includes removing it from the plastic wrapper and removing the internal stuff that they put in the cavity – that sometimes will cause a chicken to be partially frozen in places and then uneven cooking. So take it out of the wrapper, remove the bag that is in the cavity (if your chicken has that) and wash the chicken thoroughly. Dry with paper towels thoroughly!!
Put all of the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until everything is combined. The wet rub is a very dark oily rub, and it is messy! Use your hands to rub it under the chicken skin and all over the chicken. You can also use a brush to finish it up. Make sure to slather the rub everywhere on the chicken including the sides! Transfer chicken in roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes in the 475 F oven. Remove from oven, and coat a second time with wet rub. Then reduce oven to 350, and cook until chicken is internal temp of 165 degrees. My total cook time is around 1 1/2 hours but it is best to use a food thermometer and check the internal temperature.
