Chicken Recipes from Around the Globe that Will Spice Up Your Meals

Finding ourselves getting stuck with the same chicken dishes can result in an urge to seek for new flavors. Luckily, chicken meat is so versatile, and poultry has been around for so long, that there are many delicious and refreshing recipes from around the world that we should definitely try. From Asian BBQ recipes to Peruvian-style roast chicken, we’ll share with you four of our different chicken recipes that will delight your palate and spice up meals without a doubt.  

It is no secret that barbecue has become an American staple, with cookout parties being a favorite spring and summer activity. Throughout the years, really few dishes have escaped from the grace of the grill. However, barbecue has its origins in different parts of the world, including Asia. Therefore, preparing an Asian-style barbecue dish is a great way to start exploring the possibilities of poultry. Imagine chicken Teriyaki with a touch of South-Asian cuisine and you’re already there. The secret is on the marinade, which is a mix of soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, garlic, ginger, spices, and a touch of Garam Masala seasoning.  

One of the best features of chicken is its nutritional value, being a tasty and healthy ingredient that goes really well with salads. If we want to stick to light dishes, we recommend trying a nice Vietnamese shredded chicken salad. All you need to do is shred a rotisserie chicken, chop some vegetables, add a touch of dressing, and you’re ready to go. This is quite simple to prepare, and we guarantee that it is as satisfying as it is delicious and healthy at the same time.  

Here at El Pollo Norteño, we love having and serving roast chicken, as it is one of the best ways to enjoy it. This way of cooking chicken is quite popular in Latinamerica, and Peru has its very own style and recipe. In order to prepare Peruvian-style roast chicken, you need to marinate the chicken with olive oil, lime juice, garlic, and spices. Then, you can roast the chicken in the oven until it is tender and juicy, and the skin is crispy. To finish the complete meal, prepare a green sauce using cilantro and jalapeño peppers, which will make it spicy, creamy, and almost irresistible. 

If we are planning on hosting a cookout party over the weekend and really want to impress our guests, the best way to go is by preparing some delicious Middle Eastern Chicken Kebabs. These have been quite popular with our guests, so make sure you have plenty of food. The secret is marinating the chicken with a tangy mix of Greek yogurt, lemon, and spices. Then, grill the chicken on skewers until they are golden brown. Serve with a side of yellow rice and you have yourself a tasty and balanced meal.
