Arroz con Pollo (Rice with chicken) serve with Huancaina Sauce

This is the most challenging meal to prepare however the taste pays off. The first time I tried this dish was with duck but it's kind of hard to find it so I substitute with chicken. This dish came originally from the northern side of Peru. They cook this dish inside a clay pot on a burning woods, I thought it was very interesting. You don't need a clay pot, you can actually cook this at home with regular pot. Here is my version of arroz con pato (duck) substituting pollo (chicken).

6 piece of chicken legs or thighs (cut the chicken in the middle so that the ingredients can absorb well)
a pinch of teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1 teaspoon of garlic
2 teaspoons of Aji Panca/Aji Special ( if you like spicier, add more)
1/2 teaspoon of powder chicken bouillon
1 tablespoon of lime juice
2 tablespoons of pisco
2 tablespoons of brandy ( I skipped this)
2 tablespoons of chicha de jora  ( I skipped this)
Marinate these ingredient with the chicken for a minimum of 8hours or overnight.

The next day,

Cilantro mixture
a bunch of Cilantro (if you find it to strong just mix 1/2 cilantro and 1/2 spinach)
1 teaspoon of aji amarillo
1/2 bottle of black beer (depending on the strength of the beer, I normally use modelo. ie, Guinness is very strong, use only 1/4 of the bottle)
1/2 cup of water
Blend all these ingredients together.

Fry the chicken for 10mins each sides with 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and add chicken cube bouillon. (keep the remaining sauce in the bowl for later)
Add the cilantro mixture ( leave 1/4 of it for later usage)
Let it sit with the lid close until they are cook.

Rinse 3 cups of rice and drain
On a pot put 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Add rice + salt + black pepper + chicken powder bouillon + oregano + cayenne pepper (skip this if you don't like spicy) + ajinomoto
Let the rice and the ingredients blend together for 3 minutes.
Add the remaining 1/4 of the cilantro mixture
Let it boil, then add the chicken with all the sauce and add remaining 1/2 bottle of black beer but if you find it too bitter than just skip this.
Mix everything together and let close the lid.
Add frozen carrots + peas
Add red bell pepper
When the water is gone, turn the heat very very low and keep the lid cover all the time.
Once in a while stir it. Let the rice cook until they are soft.

Serve this with Huancaina sauce and boiled potato

I hope this didn't scare you to give it a try.
Good Luck!
