Because its a whole different style of making it. It's like deep frying chicken without a batter or skin. It's still fried chicken but clay would kick you in the nuts for trying to pass it off as fried chicken.
Main thing is the flavor wont be there. A lot of it comes from the self baisting of the fat melting away and the seasonings get caked into the wonderful crispy skin.
You would have a Peruvian style chicken but it wouldnt be Peruvian chicken. Flavor was wont be close. I know because I do. Chicken breast sliced thin with the spice mix. It's not bad for grilled chicken but it isn't anything like Peruvian chicken.
speaking of tacos, had some yesterday at Oyamel in DC ( Jose Andres joint). Pretty damn good and great happy hour prices. Even got adventurous and tried a "cricket" taco..stuffed with well crickets...salty but pretty good. Alberto approved.
That place is the fake gringo crap. All colorful and chit makes the taco look like a christmas tree. Go to go to the hood for the legit stuff.

Jose Andres is one of the better chefs in the world, anyone who goes to one of his restaurants and expects true Latin American style street food needs to be kicked in the nuts. Just because he's a Jose doesn't mean hes Mexican.
So far everything I've had at any of his places has been rock solid.
