Oven-Roasted Barbecue Chicken
Many recipes for oven-barbecued chicken disappoint with soggy skin and little flavor, so our goals were clear.

Pollo a la Brasa (Peruvian Grill-Roasted Chicken)
In Peru, maestros polleros, or poultry masters, make the wildly popular chickens known as pollo a la brasa by grill-roasting chickens on rotisseries that spin lazily over crackling wood fires to produce meat that's encased in tawny, paper-thin skin and dripping with juices.
