  Peruvian Roasted Chicken

  

  This great rotisserie chicken recipe became hugely popular along the East Coast of the United States and became called "super chicken" or "el pollo rico" (literally "tasty chicken" in Spanish). Although each Peruvian region has a favorite way of seasoning the chicken before roasting it, our recipe is a basic template from which you can add more herbs or flavors (beer, achiote, and mustard are common extras).

  Vinegar, lemon, and white wine are juicy marinating liquids, while garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper thicken the paste. Coat the chicken with the mixture and refrigerate for 2 hours before popping it into the oven. Roast for 90 minutes. Eat it the Peruvian way with roasted potatoes or a less elaborate side of oven French fries.

  Garlic-Lemon Rotisserie Chicken

  

  This chicken has a great garlic and lemon flavor, complemented by a savory rub mixture. Paprika, salt, coriander, cumin, ginger, and pepper make a fantastic rub that imparts a lot of flavor to the meat and gives the outer layers a classic golden rotisserie chicken color. A brush of oil before the oven helps the skin to crisp up.

  Cook the chicken for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until the interior temperature reads 165 F. Serve with yuca chips and a salad with avocado dressing.

  Rotisserie Tandoori Chicken

  

  Tandoori chicken takes its name from the clay oven (a tandoor) it's cooked in.Our recipe uses a mild-flavored, Indian-inspired marinade with yogurt. Yogurt is slightly acidic, and that draws out the flavors of the spices and then holds them tightly to the chicken, tenderizing the meat.

  Be careful loading this marinated chicken onto the rotisserie spit so as to keep as much of the marinade in place as possible. This will allow the marinade to roast right on the chicken.

  Cook for 2 hours until the interior temperature reads 165 F. Let rest 10 minutes before carving. Serve with a mixed vegetable curry and naan.

  Rotisserie Huli Huli Chicken

  

  The sweet Huli Huli marinade gives this dish an authentic Hawaiian flavor. Mix soy, lime juice, honey, sugar, ketchup, tabasco, sesame oil, and seasonings, and use the mixture to brush the chicken before and during the cooking time. The sugars will caramelize the skin while the acidity of the lemon juice, the savory soy sauce, and the heat of the Tabasco will penetrate the meat, giving it a bold and spicy flavor.

  Cook for 90 minutes, and let rest for 10 before carving. Serve with a salad with sweet onion dressing and go Pacific with some homemade taro rolls.

  Mexican Style Rotisserie Chicken

  

  The simple combination of lime and cilantro gives this rotisserie chicken a bright and light flavor. First, immerse the chicken in a short marinade with lemon juice and cilantro, then roast 2 hours in the oven. What gives this chicken a south-of-the-border feeling is the strong-flavored taco seasoning acting as a rub.

  Shred this rotisserie chicken and serve with warm tortillas, guacamole, Spanish rice, and pico de gallo salsa.
