Viva Chicken marinates fresh, all-natural chicken to the bone in a bold Peruvian spice blend for more than 24 hours, allowing every piece to absorb rich flavor, so each bite bursts with the vibrant essence of Peru’s traditional taste. Once marinated, the chicken is slow-roasted over open flames in a custom charcoal rotisserie oven, locking in juices, crisping the skin, and infusing each piece with authentic Peruvian smokiness, creating perfectly roasted chicken, juicy, tender, and packed with unforgettable flavor. From the first sizzle to the final slice, Viva Chicken delivers a dining experience that’s simple, soulful, and full of heart. Like its chicken, Viva’s signature sauces and juices are made fresh daily, just as you would find in Peru.
Throughout the year, Viva Chicken’s customizable catering options, featuring fresh ingredients and wholesome, vibrant produce prepped daily, bring Peruvian rotisserie chicken and more to any event, delighting guests during holidays, parties and beyond.
