The lowdown
The excellent Peruvian rotisserie birds at this branch of the Queens-based chicken chainlet are marinated for 12 hours in a mixture of cumin, garlic, Peruvian beer, and a few other key ingredients the owners prefer to keep a trade secret. Ponder these mystery spices over a glass of sangria and a “matador combo,” a whole chicken with a tableful of sides.
