Ingredients

• 2 lb Chicken thighs
• 4 Ají panca
• 5 cloves Garlic
• 1/4 cup Red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp Cumin
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/4 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tbsp Salt
• 4 Boiled potatoes
• 2 ears Choclo corn

Steps

1. Cut the chicken into 1.5-inch chunks. Blend the ají panca, garlic, vinegar, cumin, oregano, oil, and salt; marinate the chicken at least 2 hours.
2. Thread onto soaked skewers. The marinade should coat every piece thickly — that is what chars into the crust.
3. Grill over high heat 4 minutes per side, basting with marinade, until charred at the edges and cooked through.
4. Rest 3 minutes so the juices settle back into the meat.
5. Serve with boiled potatoes, choclo, and extra ají sauce. The weeknight-friendly anticucho.
