17. Around The World in 80 BBQs -

For week seventeen of our #aroundtheworldin80bbqs we've used the fantastic weber rotisserie to cook two whole chickens in the style of Peru. Pollo a la Brasa.

This dish is popular across south america and features soy sauce as a core component. Suprisingly, Japanese ingredients like soy sauce have played a dominant role in peruvian cuisine since the late 1800s following a large influx of japanese immigrants.

Like all the best recipes for your BBQ, this one is simple and very rewarding!

Pollo a La Brasa

INGREDIENTS

150ml Soy sauce
2-3 Fresh Limes
1 Garlic Bulb
4 tsp Ground Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
1 tsp dried Oregano
1 tsp Black Pepper
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
2 Whole Chickens

EQUIPMENT

To produce this dish we've used the following:

Weber Genesis S-330 Gas BBQ
Large Drip Trays
Weber Gloves (large)
Weber Instant Read Thermometer

<em>You could create this dish using a 57cm charcoal mastertouch BBQ</em>
<em>and a Weber charcoal rotisserie or any Weber BBQ with a rotisserie </em>
<em>such as the spirit, genesis or summit.</em>

IN THE KITCHEN

Blend soy sauce, the juice of one lime, crushed garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, pepper, and oil using a blender.
Place the chickens in a large resealable bag and add the marinade.
Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat; chill and leave for 8-24 hours.

Remove the chickens from the bags and discard the marinade; assemble on rotisserie.

AT THE BBQ

Set up your weber bbq for indirect rotisserie cooking (how) aiming for a medium heat circa 190 degrees celcius.
Cook for 60-80 minutes and probe with a meat thermometer to ensure thorough cooking (75C).
