PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE
Rotisserie chicken, "pollo a la brasa" in Spanish, is hands-down one of the staple foods consumed in cities across Peru. Typically served with a simple side salad, French fries and the equally famous aji verde-a sauce made with Peruvian aji amarillo (yellow chile) and huacatay (a variety of black mint)-this dish is loved by those seeking a highly seasoned and very juicy chicken at affordable prices. The key to the recipe is in the marinade; restaurants in Peru keep their ingredients secret, but here I share my family recipe alongside an updated recipe for the aji verde. Roasting chicken thighs on a sheet pan makes it an easy dish to do at home. And since aji amarillo and huacatay are difficult ingredients to find in the States, I created a different but equally delicious green sauce that pairs great with the chicken. The sauce can also be used as a spread, dip or salad dressing.

Steps:
- For the chicken thighs: Whisk the beer, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl or baking dish. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for a minimum of 3 hours and up to overnight.
- When ready to roast, set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, discard the marinating liquid from the bowl or baking dish and drizzle the oil over the chicken to fully coat. Transfer chicken thighs skin-side up to a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes.
- While the chicken roasts, make the avocado green sauce: Combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are minced. Turn off the blender, add the avocado and blend until the sauce becomes smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute. Be careful to not over blend as the sauce will break. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with the avocado sauce.

Steps:
- Prepare an outdoor grill or a grill pan for medium heat.
- Whisk together 1 tablespoon of the oil and the lemon zest in a large bowl. Add the chicken to the oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide the chicken and thread onto metal or bamboo skewers.
- Toast the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently, until light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
- Combine the pine nuts, basil, parsley, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a food processor. Process to make a coarse paste. Add the avocado, lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons oil and process until mostly smooth.
- Grill the chicken, turning often, until just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Serve the chicken dolloped with the pesto and any extra pesto on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180C/350°F.
- Line a roasting pan with foil (makes for easier clean-up).
- Rinse and pat dry the chicken. Sit the chicken in the pan and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the avocados in half, remove the stones and scoop out the flesh with a spoon into a bowl.
- Roughly mash the avocado so that you still have some small chunks. Add the remaining stuffing ingredients, mix together and taste for seasoning.
- Stuff the mixture between the skin and flesh as best you can all over the chicken. It's OK if some is sticking out.
- Mix the ingredients for the coating and drizzle or brush the honey mixture all over the chicken skin.
- Bake the chicken for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on its size, basting occasionally with any juices in the pan or with any leftover honey mixture.
- Remove from oven when done and allow to rest 5-10 minutes before carving.

ELEGANT CHICKEN AVOCADO
When I first came across this recipe, I didn't think I would like it, but I decided to give it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! The seasonings meld together and make a wonderful sauce. This is a great choice when you want something a little extra special or for company. If you only need 4 servings, make less cooked rice and only use 4 breast halves. I have also prepared this recipe using turkey tenderloins.
