About Peruvian chicken

Peruvian Chicken, or Pollo a la Brasa, is a flavorful dish originating from Peru's culinary traditions. Typically marinated with a blend of garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, vinegar, soy sauce, and lime juice, this dish captures the bold, smoky flavors essential to Peruvian cuisine. The chicken is traditionally roasted or grilled over charcoal, resulting in a tender, juicy interior and crispy, well-seasoned skin. A protein-rich choice, Peruvian Chicken provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. Its marinade delivers antioxidants from spices like paprika and oregano. While the chicken itself can be a healthy option when skinless, the crispy skin may be high in fat and calories. Often paired with fresh salads or roasted vegetables, it offers a balanced and nourishing meal. However, side dishes such as fried yucca or mayonnaise-based sauces should be enjoyed in moderation for those mindful of calorie intake.
