Charcoal Broiled Chicken

With its sizable Peruvian population, DC is saturated with their take on rotisserie chicken (aka, pollo a la brasa). The best of the best is El Pollo Rico: seasoned with a marinade of garlic, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and other spices, the chicken is spit-roasted over a live fire, imparting the meat with a juicy smokiness that’s tough to beat. At just $8.25, the half chicken served with the restaurant’s house-made sauces is one of the best quality-to-price ratios you’ll find.
