A whole free-range baby chicken, deboned and spatchcocked, marinated for a full day in the smoky, citrus-bright flavours of a Peruvian grill — ají amarillo, dark beer, lime and huacatay. The skin chars and crisps; the meat stays succulent underneath.

It comes ready to cook, with my huacatay green crema for dipping and a rich chicken jus to finish. Generous enough for one hungry appetite, but it's really a meal for two — add the charred sweet potatoes and you've a proper summer dinner for the table. 

On the BBQ or under the oven grill, you're eating in under 20 minutes. The chicken is a Campoaves Franguito — Portugal's finest free-range bird, slow-grown in open fields. You can taste the difference.

Pairs perfectly with my charred White Sweet Potato Rounds & Tamarind Glaze — available separately, or save 10% with the BBQ Summer Bundle.

Weight: 450g | Serves: 1 as a generous main, 2 to share
