Peruvian Chicken Recipes

Peruvian cooking is one of the world's most exciting — fusing Andean, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese techniques with bright citrus and vivid ají chillies. When Peruvian cooks work with chicken, they reach for ají chillies, lime, garlic, coriander and red onion, and the techniques that come up most across these recipes are simmering, boiling, sautéing and marinating.
