Viva Chicken,  a  Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken franchise,  started in Charlotte, NC,  by restaurateurs Randy Garcia and Bruno Macchiavello is opening its doors in Christiana on Wednesday, July 11.

The company specializes in  Pollo a la Brasa, a  rotisserie chicken cooked in a charcoal-fired oven imported from Lima, Peru.

the new restaurant is located  at 1103 Churchmans Road south of Newark.

 “The keys to Viva Chicken’s menu are authenticity and Peruvian-sourced ingredients,” says Macchiavello.  “We are excited to bring both to our first location in Delaware and get to know the Christiana community.”
