A note about Pardo's Chicken

In Lima, when you're hungry and don't feel like cooking, Peruvian chicken "a la brasa" is only one phone call away. Pardo's is the best, and has motorcycle drivers who will deliver a whole rotisserie chicken to your door (with fresh cooked beets, carrots, green beans, avocado, french fries, and Inca Kola) for $12. This is convenient for me, as these are my favorite foods. (My roommates in DC can attest to this fact. I used to eat Peruvian chicken from the place down the street in Adams Morgan more than was probably healthy. And that did not even compare....)

Me, Gabriela, Cristina, and Andrea with the Pardo's deliveryman. We are lazy, since Pardo's is four blocks away.

Not too shabby for fast food. Those sauces in the middle are spicy garlic, very good with Peruvian chicken. Inca Kola tastes like bubble gum, I think it's kind of gross but people here can't get enough of it.

What makes Pardo's chicken so very extra delicious? Some say it is crack. I say it is probably the slow roasting over hot coals, plus some high quality chickens. And lots of delicious flavoring on the crispy skin. The garlic sauces don't hurt, either. See Pardo's rotisserie below.
