PERUVIAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH CREAMY AVOCADO SAUCE
Rotisserie chicken, "pollo a la brasa" in Spanish, is hands-down one of the staple foods consumed in cities across Peru. Typically served with a simple side salad, French fries and the equally famous aji verde-a sauce made with Peruvian aji amarillo (yellow chile) and huacatay (a variety of black mint)-this dish is loved by those seeking a highly seasoned and very juicy chicken at affordable prices. The key to the recipe is in the marinade; restaurants in Peru keep their ingredients secret, but here I share my family recipe alongside an updated recipe for the aji verde. Roasting chicken thighs on a sheet pan makes it an easy dish to do at home. And since aji amarillo and huacatay are difficult ingredients to find in the States, I created a different but equally delicious green sauce that pairs great with the chicken. The sauce can also be used as a spread, dip or salad dressing.

Steps:
- For the chicken thighs: Whisk the beer, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon and sugar together in a large bowl or baking dish. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat all sides. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for a minimum of 3 hours and up to overnight.
- When ready to roast, set an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, discard the marinating liquid from the bowl or baking dish and drizzle the oil over the chicken to fully coat. Transfer chicken thighs skin-side up to a rimmed sheet pan. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, about 35 minutes.
- While the chicken roasts, make the avocado green sauce: Combine the queso fresco, mayonnaise, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro, lemon juice, salt and 1/2 cup of water in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are minced. Turn off the blender, add the avocado and blend until the sauce becomes smooth and uniform in color, about 1 minute. Be careful to not over blend as the sauce will break. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to rest 5 minutes. Serve with the avocado sauce.

BRONCO'S BALSAMIC CHIPOTLE CHICKEN THIGHS WITH WILD WEST CREAMY CHEESY POLENTA AND COOL AVOCADO MASH
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place diced bacon into large frying pan over medium high heat. Fry bacon until browned. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon; set aside. Reserve drippings. Place chicken on a cutting board. Trim fat; cut each into 6 pieces. Place chicken in a large bowl and sprinkle with pepper, salt, thyme, garlic and oil; toss to coat. Place chicken into hot pan with the drippings. Fry over medium high heat for 10-12 minutes, browning all sides. Transfer chicken to a non-stick baking dish. In the same frying pan, sauté carrots until tender crisp. Add onions and sauté until slightly wilted. Transfer to the baking dish. Combine vinegar, chipotle sauce, tomato sauce and 1/4 cup of the water in a bowl. Pour mixture over contents of the baking dish and stir. Place into preheated oven. Cover and bake for 30 minutes, stirring two or three times. Remove from the oven, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup water if mixture seems dry and rest for 5 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, place 2 cups of water, half and half, cream style corn and chicken bouillon in a large saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil, and add cornmeal in a steady stream, whisking briskly. Reduce heat to medium low, add butter and stir frequently while cooking for the next 5 minutes; cover with a splatter screen if needed. Just before serving, stir in sour cream. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm. Add a bit of additional half and half or water to thin polenta if needed. Serve as soon as possible. Mash avocadoes in a medium size bowl. Add lime juice and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix to combine, set aside. To serve, ladle about 3/4 cup of polenta into the bottom of each of 6 shallow bowls. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese, top with 8 pieces of the chicken and a bit of the sauce drizzled over. Spoon a dollop of the avocado onto the center. Garnish with a sprinkling of cilantro. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy chicken thighs, pat them dry before seasoning and cooking. This will help the skin crisp up and prevent sogginess.
- Make sure the chicken thighs are cooked thoroughly by using a meat thermometer to ensure they have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For a more intense smoky flavor, use a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce instead of ground chipotle powder.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken thighs. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- To make the polenta creamy and cheesy, use a combination of milk, cream, and Parmesan cheese. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning, to taste.
- For a smoother avocado mash, use a blender or food processor to puree the avocados until they are completely smooth.
- Serve the chicken thighs with the polenta and avocado mash immediately. You can also garnish the dish with fresh cilantro or parsley.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Broncos Balsamic Chipotle Chicken Thighs with Wild West Creamy Cheesy Polenta and Cool Avocado Mash is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken thighs are crispy and flavorful, the polenta is creamy and cheesy, and the avocado mash is cool and refreshing. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
