Serving Gordon Ramsay Peruvian Chicken

I am a big fan of Gordon Ramsay and Peruvian cuisine. By following Chef Ramsay’s techniques, I have recreated this exotic dish just for you.

The process of infusing and roasting the chicken with spicy ingredients, along with a tangy green sauce, creates a crackling skin with juicy meat that elevates the taste to new heights.

I assure you that as you take your first bite, you will be transported to the heart of Peru. So, gather your ingredients, fire up the oven, and let the flavors of Peru take you on a delicious adventure in your own kitchen.

Equipment Required

  • Measuring Cups and spoons: Use these pieces of equipment to achieve uniform and exact measurements.
  • Knife: I also suggest using a sharp knife to mince or slice the garlic, herbs, jalapeno, and chicken precisely.
  • Spatula: Use a wooden or silicone spatula to mix your ingredients evenly. You can also try using a large spoon.
  • Baking Tray: I always use a 13 by 9-inch tray while baking the chicken.
  • Oven: Use an oven to bake the chicken well.

Top Tips

Expert Tips That I Recommend

  • If you enjoy a strong herb flavor, consider combining dried thyme, rosemary, basil, and marjoram. Crush them together and sprinkle them on top of your cooked chicken for an intense herbal aroma and taste.
  • I love tomatoes, so I mix in some tomato paste while marinating chicken for a tangy and tomato flavor.
  • If you are looking for softer meat, I highly recommend marinating the chicken in buttermilk along with the other ingredients.
  • If you are a spice lover, then drizzle the baked Peruvian chicken with chili-infused oil. 
  • I always recommend marinating your chicken in a salt water brine before adding it to the Peruvian marinade, for juicier meat.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe

Storing

  • In the Refrigerator: I usually store my leftovers in the fridge. You can do the same by putting your leftover chicken in an airtight container and keeping it in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for about 4 to 5 days.
  • In the Freezer: Sometimes, I freeze the chicken by placing it in an airtight container, allowing it to stay fresh for up to 15 days or a month.

  • In the Microwave: I often move the leftover chicken to a microwave-safe plate, add a drizzle of oil, and microwave it for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Stovetop Method: I recommend transferring the leftover chicken to a saucepan, adding a little oil, and stirring it over medium heat for 5-7 minutes or until it’s hot.
