Peruvian Roast Chicken
- 4 pounds chicken
- 4 garlic cloves chopped
- 1/2 lemon
- 3 tablespoons white vinegar or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- salt
- black pepper
- 1. Mix together the marinade ingredients.
- 2. Place the whole chicken into a large (about 2 gallon size) ziploc bag and pour in the marinade.
- 3. Spread the marinade so that it covers all the chicken.
- 4. Marinade overnight.
- 5. Take the chicken out of the fridge about 30-45 minutes before you roast it, so it comes closer to room temperature. This helps the chicken become more moist and cooked evenly.
- 6. Preheat the oven to 450F.
- 7. Remove the chicken from the marinate and brush off any garlic so it will not burn.
- 8. Lay the chicken breast side up in a roasting pan or cast iron skillet.
- 9. Truss the chicken. This keeps the juices in during the roasting and makes the meat more tender.
- 10. Roast 45-55 minutes.
- 11. Let rest 5 minutes before carving.
