Peruvian Chicken with Green Sauce (Aji Verde)

This Peruvian Chicken with Creamy Green Sauce packs in big flavors thanks to the easy marinade and vibrant green sauce (aji verde).

This chicken has all of the flavors going on thanks to an easy marinade. Marinating boneless chicken thighs in a mix of garlic, soy sauce, and cumin and serving it next to this amazing creamy green sauce gives this dish layers of intricate and authentic Peruvian flavors. 

Similar to my favorite Mojo Sauce and Peruvian Aji Amarillo, the vibrant green sauce in this recipe tastes like it came straight from Peru. Made with jalapeno, cilantro, and fresh lime juice, the flavor and texture are creamy but made tangier with the addition of Greek yogurt.

It’s the perfect dipping sauce for this chicken but can also be used on salads, tacos, and roasted veggies!

I love this meal because it’s quick, casual, and unexpected. It’s the perfect choice when entertaining because the majority of the work can be done ahead of time! Finally, you can forget about babysitting the meat and spending hours cleaning the kitchen.

What is Peruvian Chicken?

Peruvian grilled chicken, or Pollo a la Brasa, is similar to rotisserie or roasted chicken but marinated first in a mixture of lime juice, oil, garlic, and spices.

My take on Pollo a la Brasa is made using boneless chicken thighs but you can easily swap these for a whole chicken, breasts, wings, or legs. You can even make these Peruvian Chicken Meatballs!

This dish is best served next to a creamy and spicy green sauce (aji verde) made from jalapenos, mayonnaise, and cilantro, so be sure not to skip it!

Green Sauce – Aji Verde Ingredients

  • Jalapeños – remove the ribs for less heat
  • Cilantro – or use parsley if you’re sensitive to cilantro
  • Green Onions – green parts only
  • Garlic
  • Mayonnaise
  • Greek Yogurt
  • Lime Juice – adds a delicious tang
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt + Pepper

How to Make Creamy Green Sauce (Aji Verde)

It’s easy! Just add all of the sauce ingredients (except the olive oil) to a blender or mini food processor (I love this one!) and blend until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the oil with the motor running until it’s fully combined, then transfer the finished sauce to a bowl and refrigerate.

How to Make Marinated Peruvian Chicken

Place the chicken thighs in a ziploc bag with the garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Let it marinate for 8 to 24 hours.

Can I Grill the Chicken?

Grill the Peruvian chicken on an oiled grill grate over medium-high heat. Flip it once and continue cooking until the chicken is done.

Can I Roast the Chicken?

If you prefer to cook indoors, you can roast the chicken in a 500ºF oven for about 30 minutes. Afterward, tent the pan in foil and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is browned and fully cooked.

Can I Air Fry the Chicken?

Yes! To make air fryer chicken thighs, preheat your air fryer to 360-degrees. Place the chicken in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165-degrees.

Tips and Substitutions

  • You can leave the mayo out of the green sauce. Just use more Greek yogurt in its place or swap in some sour cream or Mexican crema.
  • If you aren’t sure if the chicken thighs are cooked, use a meat thermometer to measure the internal temperature. Boneless chicken thighs are fully cooked when their internal temperature reads 165ºF.
  • If you really like spice, substitute the jalapenos in the green sauce for serrano peppers.
  • If the green sauce is too spicy, use only 1 or 2 jalapenos and make sure to remove the seeds and veins from inside the pepper first.
  • You can make this recipe with a whole chicken, breasts, legs, wings, or any cut of chicken you prefer.
  • Make the green sauce with aji amarillo (Peruvian yellow pepper) paste instead of jalapenos for a more authentic flavor.

Wine Pairing for Peruvian Chicken

  • Vinho Verde is high in acidity, which makes it ideal for pairing with the rich and creamy green sauce served with this chicken.

  1. That sounds so delicious! The grilled, charred, spicy chicken combo sounds perfect for summer. We have a grill on the deck right next to our kitchen but we’re not supposed to use it since it’s charcoal, new HOA regulation, ugh… but we might bend the rules sometime and use it quickly! Glad you’ve been getting a lot of good grilling in this summer!

    Your photos are always perfection!

  2. We love Peruvian chicken with green sauce here! I’ve never grilled it but now I think I must! We just finished a renovation and getting a grill that was accessible to the house was a priority! We are lucky enough to grill year round here in NC. Can’t wait to try this.

      • So I am in the marinating stage of this recipe. I separated the thighs from the legs to make them more manageable (but I think they are prettier whole). I also made the sauce the night before, because sauce is always better with time. My son is in the “no cilantro camp” so I made a double batch, one with, one without. We like things bold and spicy, so I kept the ribs and seeds of the three (giant) Jalapeños, added more garlic and two Serranos to boot, for each batch. I also transposed the yogurt and Mayo measurements (more yogurt than mayo). Surprisingly, I can’t decide which version of sauce I like better! It is somewhat annoying when someone rates a recipe, but totally changes it, but I have done it to make the point that you can totally make this even if you don’t dig cilantro.

  3. If you are ever in nyc, there is a place in Queens that serves a chicken dish very similar to this. If i remember correctly, the name of the restaurant was Pio Pio. The green sauce is amazing. Thank you for posting the recipe. Can’t wait to try it!!!

    • Hi David – If you’re looking for a white wine, go with something with a bit of body to it – A Chardonnay or Rhone-style white blend would work well. As far as red wine goes, a juicy Tempranillo or Malbec would be amazing. Enjoy!

  5. Made this last night and it was excellent. My only suggestion would be a little less Cilantro. Otherwise.. outstanding!!! 24 hr marinade is a must. I grilled over lump charcoal. Skin was fantastic.

          • Erin I had to come back and rave about the sauce again! I made it again tonight to use in the rice and black bean burritos we were having and it just elevated them so much! I don’t know if I’ve ever made such a versatile sauce, chicken, burritos, grilled veggies, I bet it’s even an amazing salad dressing. Thank you again!

  6. Hi,

    I need help! I’m making this for dinner tomorrow. I don’t have a grill so I need to make this in the oven. Do I cook the chicken in the roasting pan, on the roasting rack…or just in the pan with a cup of water?!?!

    Reply
      • Hi Erin,

        Just to clarify — the water is in the roasting rack together with the chicken?

        Or the chicken on the rack, but a cup of water in another container in the oven?

        Thanks! I’m a newbie cook so might come across a bit dense.

        Reply
          • Hi Natasha – I’m sorry the instructions weren’t clear. I just adjusted the recipe instructions. I add the water directly to the pan with the chicken. It keeps the chicken moist as it roasts, but it will evaporate by the end of the cook time. You can also use a roasting rack if you prefer, and add the water to the pan below the rack in the pan. Hope that helps!

      • Hi! This recipe looks delicious, can’t wait to try it! By any chance do you know the name of the plate in Spanish? I’m Peruvian and there are ingredients I’ve never heard being used in Peruvian cuisine. Either way looks delicious. Cheers!

  10. Hi Erin,

    I’m a bit confused. When roasting in the oven, do you pour the water into the roasting rack together with the chicken?

    Or does the water sit in a different container in the oven, while the chicken roasts on a rack?

    Thanks!

    Wow! Just made this for my family tonight and everyone loved it, even my picky daughter. Only problem thing i would do different is marinade it longer. I only marinaded it for 7 hours, next time ill start it the night before. I also used chicken breasts which worked out well. Thanks

  12. Is there another way to prepare the grilled chicken without it marinating? Also, what type of beverage do you think will go good with this?

    Reply
    • Hi Shaniqua – You can marinate this for as little as 30 minutes, though the flavor won’t be as intense. I’d pair it with a zippy, tangy white wine like a Vinho Verde or Pinot Gris.

    I don’t usually leave recipe reviews but had to, in case someone else comes across this. Loved this recipe. Tasted marinade before using and almost threw it away. Made it exactly according to directions. I did not like it and it wasn’t what I was imagining. Used it anyways. I was so wrong. It was amazing & perfect once the chicken was grilled. Exactly, what I had imagined and hoped it would taste like. You don’t even need the sauce. But the sauce is great, too. Delicious recipe, extra crispy, garlic, smashed potatoes would make a great side dish and you can use a little of the sauce. 5 star recipe.

  23. I have an abundance of fresh jalepenos all of a sudden and came across this recipe while trying to figure out what to do with them. Unfortunately I already have meals planned for this week and won’t be able to squeeze this in. Do you think I could make just the sauce right now and freeze it until I’m ready to use in a week or two?

    • Hi Karen – Yes, you can freeze this sauce. I like to make it up in batches and transfer to ice cube trays. The texture can change a bit from freezing and thawing, but it is still delicious!

    This was outstanding! I marinated my chicken thighs for 24 hours then grilled them. They were perfect. Just the right sear and so tender. And the sauce… oh the sauce. I basically just put it on everything on the plate. Broccoli is good with it too btw 🙂 I’m glad the recipe made so much sauce. If I don’t use it all (on just about anything) I’ll freeze it and save it for the next time I make this… which will be soon. So easy and so tasty!

    I have never commented on a recipe before but I HAD to for this – this was AMAZING. Easy to make the sauce and marinade ahead of time in the morning, and then it’s a quick meal to whip up for dinner! I baked the thighs instead, at 425 for 30 minutes.
    Thank you so much!!

  26. Hi, this sounds delicious! I’m wondering if you could cook the chicken in the air fryer and get the right result? I don’t have access to a grill and it’s too hot to blast my oven (no AC here) at the moment.

    Soooooo good and so easy to make. I broiled it on low for 10mins then flipped and broiled another 10. I’m pretty sure you can broil on high for less time.

    Absolutely delicious. I used chicken thighs because I had them on hand, and I subbed Serrano peppers for the jalapeños because I grew them in my garden! Additionally, I used the leftover green sauce as an overnight chicken marinade – I baked at 400 degrees for roughly 25 min. Heavenly! It was a fantastic way to reduce food waste, and prep for the nest night’s dinner!

    So, question – wehen you add 1 cup water to the pan, should the chicken be immersed in the water, or is it somewhat like a water bath? Sorry, just confused. Not a pro! 😅

    • Hi Kimmy – The water will be added to the pan with the chicken, so like a water bath. However, as it cooks, the water will evaporate. It’s mainly there to help keep the chicken moist. Hope that helps!

    Hi, Erin!

    I happened to come across your recipe on Pinterest. And well… I LOVED IT!! It had so much flavor and the smell was so so good.
    My family really enjoyed it. The only thing I wished I did was grill the chicken. Our gas tank had no more and so I went to my eldest sister’s house to use her tank, but she didn’t have any as well. So I used the air fryer and the pan. Two different techniques, but they still worked out. I want to do it again. That’s how much I enjoyed it. And the green sauce? Yes.
    Thank you for the recipe!

    Thank you, thank you. This recipe is exceptional! I used half of a skinless, bone-in turkey breast, marinated for about 24 hours and smoked it for about 3 hrs at 220F. Delicious, utterly delicious. The green sauce is every bit as good as everyone else says. I love lots of flavor without lots of heat and this sauce delivered both after scraping the jalapenos clear of seeds and veins. I will be making this again and again with different proteins.

    This is sooo yummy as printed. We rolled it in tortillas with some lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. The sauce is to die for. That said, I make a double batch of the sauce, one with cilantro, and one without cilantro, and I used parsley instead. Both of them are so delicious. I can’t believe they don’t like cilantro. But that’s just me. This is a fantastic recipe. It’s not just good it’s amazing. You should sell this on a food truck.

    I’m hoping to try this recipe this week. Could you please specify what kind of soy sauce to use? Are you referring to a thicker sweet indonesian one or the japanese salty one? Or a different kind altogether? There’s so many options, but for some reason in all the American recipes that I find it’s only ever named as soy sauce and I just can’t figure out what kind is referred to unfortunately

    Love this recipe. Only thing I would suggest is that the three jalapenos was a bit much. I would suggest that folks start with less peppers unless you really like the heat. A very different dish but not that difficult to pull off. By the way, the folks at America’s Test Kitchens feel that you don’t have to marinate overnight. I only did two hours and it came out fine
