This is indeed one of the best chicken recipes I have ever tasted. Luckily, I cracked the code, so we don’t need to go to Peru to taste their most prized dish.
Butterflying the chicken in this recipe is an extra step that will ensure even cooking and crispy golden brown skin. Don’t worry because I will explain how to do it in the instructions.
This amazing flavor explosion is thanks to chili powder, paprika, garlic, oregano, cumin, lime, honey, and a lot more. It’s like a magical fireworks show happening inside your mouth.
