Peru’s Rotisserie Chicken is Here

Also Take-Out
“Our chicken is marinated 24 hours in a special mix of Pe-
ruvian herbs and spices including garlic, cumin and Pe-
ruvian pepper and roasted for one hour and 10 minutes
while preserving its full flavor. Another important element
of our newest product is that the price is more than rea-
sonable, thus giving our clientele an alternative to our es-
tablishment Asi es mi Peru. And not to forget: the Pollo a
la Brasa has a take-out option too.” Jan continues giving
an example of a table of eight persons that came to eat-
in and left happy because of the quality of the chicken
and side dishes as well as with the bill. “It is ideal for fami-
lies with children, kids love roasted chicken. Normally it
comes with a fresh garden salad and fries, but we offer
as well ‘chaufa’ (Peru’s version of Chinese Fried Rice) and
other side dishes. There will be more surprises in the future.
Original combos with Inca cola, very well-known in Peru,
are on the menu. We just opened and we already sense
that it is a niche we found.” To make the happy meal
complete there is home-made ice-cream, for sure a hit
with the little ones.

meat, a crispy skin and that special taste because of a 24-hour marinade_ a must-try.

“Pollo a la Brasa, roasted chicken, is a very popular dish in Peru and the first thing my
wife does when she visits her home country is paying a visit to Pardos, a well-known
chicken rotisserie in Lima. She realized she never found a place like this on the island of
Aruba”, says Jan. “The seasoning makes the difference and when it lacks the chicken
will be dry and without taste. That was our motivation to bring our own charcoal burning
rotisserie from Peru, eco-friendly as it traps heat and steam internally meaning there is
no smoke.” In the United States roasted chicken is a popular dish, now visitors can have
a taste of their favorite home-dish, but with the Peruvian twist.
