Yum! Please report on how the chicken comes out; it sounds delicious. I’m down to the last bags of Aji and many are green from the major picking before taking the shelter apart. some turned orange-yellow and some were too young.
I bet the scorched, peeled Aji would be great w/ cheese and crackers or nachos. I ate a few straight up, until my mouth was telling me to stop from the heat.
Bummer about the whiteflies. They’re a real pain to get rid of. They freeze dead out here, but sometimes escape from greenhouses or spread from plants sold at garden centers. Here’s some ideas for control. I’d also try thorough coatings with Dawn Dish soap and water. Better to kill them off before spring and warmer weather arrives.
