I've cooked chicken with the "green sauce" and it is great! Of course, the sauce is cilantro heavy. So if that is not your bag, you probably won't like it. To me, the sauce is very "fresh" tasting with just a little bit of kick.

I made it yesterday, but I grilled the chicken instead of roasting it. Turned out great.

I've done "Pollo a la Brasa" on the grill. Love it. I need to do it again, soon.

I have a Peruvian place about a mile from my house. Eat there probably once a month at least.

$35 for a whole bird, side and salad. $38 for a whole fried bird. They come with the cilantro sauce and a spicy aji amarillo sauce.

Also have great saltado, ceviche, lamb empinadas, Peruvian fried rice, marinated skewers - beef heart, duck breast, beef tenderloin, etc etc.

It's so good.

I get my wife to make extra green sauce to keep in the fridge. Stuff is amazing on a barbacoa omelette.

It's great as a salad dressing, because it's "tangy".

I bumped this.

We are always looking for new and unique things to cook. After seeing this last week we decided to try it on Saturday night. It was fantastic.

We had the sauce again Sunday night with prime pork chops. Also delicious.

I couldn’t find the A-list chilli pastes. The only one I was able to find at Whole Foods was the sambal oelek chili paste so I doubled up on that along with some regular chili powder.

It was fantastic.

For those looking for something different to cook, try making Piri Piri Chicken. It's a Portuguese recipe. Here's a link to a recipe (there are many), or you can buy the marinade at the store (not as fun).

The sides and salad are big. It feeds us and our two kids pretty easily. Definitely worth the $, imo.
