The basic idea is as universal as chicken itself: Spear the whole hen on a rotating spike, then leave it to roast near a radiating heat source so the subcutaneous fat self-bastes the meat to a juicy sort of succulence. But the Peruvians at Inka Grill Rotisserie Chicken up the ante. To cook the pollo à la brasa, the chefs eschew electricity for a smoldering wood fire. And where there's... More »
