Wishing everyone a happy and relaxing Labor Day!

Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken is sweeping the culinary world, and you can get a taste of this traditional favorite at Peruchos Peruvian Chicken. At this Newark eatery, chicken spends a full 24 hours in a traditional Peruvian marinade, and if it's your first visit to this Newark restaurant, the owners recommend you try a quarter chicken a la brasa with aji spicy dipping sauce. Add a side of crispy, golden fries (or fried plantains, for a more traditional flavor combination) and you'll enjoy a hearty, satisfying hearty meal.

Chicken is the real star at Peruchos, but Yelp reviewers also recommend the restaurant's ribs, pulled pork, and made-to-order ceviche. Feed the whole family with the "matador" combination platter, which includes a whole chicken, a rack of ribs, as well as enough rice, beans, fries, and salad to satisfy a group. Regulars say the staff is friendly, efficient, and happy to explain anything on the menu, so Peruchos is a good choice even if you’re unfamiliar with Peruvian food.
