Rotisserie Peruvian Chicken & Green Sauce

Inside: This Rotisserie Peruvian Chicken and Green Sauce recipe is so simple to make. By using an air fryer your chicken will turn out better than any rotisserie chicken you’ll buy in the store. If you don’t own an air fryer, no problem, you can still make this delicious recipe your entire family will devour.

Who doesn’t love a good rotisserie chicken? Just the smell alone makes you want to pull up a chair, fork, and plate at the chicken display at your local store.

For today’s recipe, I’d love to share this quick, easy, and super tasty Peruvian Chicken and green sauce recipe I made using my Deluxe Air Fryer by Pampered Chef. If you’ve been looking to purchase an Air Fryer, this particular model can’t be beaten.

If you don’t have an air fryer, that’s okay, you can still make this recipe using either a roasting pan or any casserole dish you may have on hand. You’ll want to omit the instructions that discuss the rotisserie spit.

Additional Items Needed to make Rotisserie Peruvian Chicken & Green Sauce

Cooking twine

Please make sure you purchase food-grade cooking twine. Never use craft twine as it can cause a fire and add harmful toxins to your food. You can typically find this at any big box store, Amazon, or select grocery stores.

Pampered Chef manual food processor

You’ll need either a food processor or blender to mix the Peruvian Green Sauce. For easy cleanup, I’d strongly recommend the Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor. $60

When I first received my manual food processor, I thought it was a joke. I mean; seriously…no cord? After using it a few times, I can’t believe I spent this long without it. I grab for it every time instead of pulling out the KitchenAid blender.

This is how you make Rotisserie Peruvian Chicken & Peruvian Green Sauce

Rotisserie Peruvian Chicken & Peruvian Green Sauce

This recipe is for the use of an Air Fryer. If you don’t own an Air Fryer, you can still make this recipe, by placing the chicken either in a roasting pan or casserole dish. Cook at 375° for 45 minutes. Regardless of how you cook chicken, always check to ensure it’s done by taking its internal temperature before serving.

Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken

• 1 whole 4lb chicken
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• juice from ½ small lime
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1⅔ tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground Hungarian Paprika
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, pressed

Peruvian Green Sauce

• 1/2 medium bunch cilantro with stems (about 24 sprigs)
• 1 jalapeno, seeds removed
• juice from ½ small lime
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp white vinegar
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ cup mayonnaise

1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Combine the remaining chicken ingredients in a small bowl and coat the chicken with the mixture.

2. Tie the legs together with a 12″ piece of cooking twine. Tie the wings against the breasts with a 24″ piece of cooking twine. Insert the rotisserie spit through the legs where they’re tied together and through the cavity, centering the bird on the spit. Insert the forks securely into the chicken and tighten the screws.

3. Turn the wheel to select the ROTISSERIE setting; press the wheel to select. Turn the wheel to adjust the time to 45 minutes. Press the wheel to start. When the timer is up, use the retrieval tool to remove the spit. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), adding more time if needed

4. Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse until combines. Serve the sauce with the chicken

This was the maiden voyage of my air fryer, and I was really shocked to see how well it performed, and even more impressed with how amazingly moist and delicious this Peruvian Chicken turned out.
