Directions
Let’s Prep!
Time to spice up that chicken
-
In a bowl, mix olive oil, lime and 2 tbs of our Spice Pantry Peruvian Spice Blend together to make a paste. With the chicken, make sure the giblets are removed and dry off the chicken with kitchen roll. Lift the skin up carefully over the breast and thighs and brush under the skin with half of the paste, use the rest to brush over the outside of the chicken and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour
The green sauce
-
Set aside the olive oil. Blend together all the other ingredients and then slowly add the olive oil as you stir. Once combined, place in a bowl and refrigerate until the chicken is served.
Let’s cook
Oven cook
-
Preheat oven to 425°f/220°c/200°c fan/ gas mark 7
-
Place in a roasting tray that has been sprayed with oil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, the skin should be golden brown.
-
Turn down the oven to 375°f/ 190°c/ 170°c fan/ gas mark 5 and continue to cook for one hour or until the juices are clear. If the skin looks like it might be going brown too quickly, cover it loosely with foil.
-
Remove from the oven and cover loosely with foil and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
-
Before carving make sure the juices are drained from the chicken.
Enjoy!
