Peruvian Grilled Chicken and Green Sauce

I've eaten in a couple of Peruvian restaurants and really liked the food so when I ran across this recipe on Serious Eats I decided to give it a try. It turned out great; the chicken had a great flavor, and I really liked the green sauce which had a little bit of heat.
I cooked the chicken indirect at 375 dome; when the IT hit 140-ish I switched to raised direct to finish it off. (During the raised direct portion, I went to flip the bird and it literally fell apart it was so tender, which explains why you see it in pieces in the later photos).
I know it isn't typical Peruvian, but I had some fresh corn tortillas so I heated some up and served with the chicken.
For green sauce:
3 whole jalapeño chiles, seeds and all
1 cup fresh cilantro
2 medium cloves garlic
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh juice
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
For the Chicken:
1 whole chicken
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil

@springram I used apple cider because that's what i had available. I think either would be fine.LBGE & SBGE. Central Texas.

Sorry for the very delayed response. I saw the question to me about how it turned out....it is awesome! I cooked again yesterday for some neighbors and got rave reviews. The sauce is to die for if you like cilantro and spice, we make it to have in the fridge to go on lots of different meals.

Man I have been dying to try this for months now. I have a friend at work who is from Peru and he has been promising me a family recipe for a while now. I am patiently waiting. Man that looks great! You did a fantastic job!!Bristow Virginia XL&Mini One of the best feelings in life is watching other people enjoy the food I cooked!
