Pollo a la brasa

Pollo a la brasa, pollo asado, blackened chicken, or charcoal chicken, is a variety of rotisserie chicken especially associated with the cuisine of Peru.It was developed in Peru in the 1950s by Swiss immigrants to Peru.Originally its consumption was specific to high-end restaurants (during the 1950s until the 1970s), but today it is a widely available dish. The original version consisted of a chicken (cooked on a spit over charcoal and seasoned only with salt) served with large french fries and traditionally eaten with the fingers, though today additional spices are used to prepare it, and people may eat it with cutlery if they choose. It is almost always served with creamy (mayonnaise-based) sauces, and most frequently with a salsa known as ají.

In 2013, Peruvian cuisine was listed among the top three cuisines with potential for popular menu items in the United States. Pollo a la brasa can now be found in eateries all throughout the world and is considered to be a staple item on the menu of Peruvian fusion restaurants. It is considered a national dish of Peru; with Peruvians consuming it an average of three times per month and with rotisserie chicken restaurants accounting for 40% of the fast food industry in the country.
