Jalapeno Roast Chicken with Baby Broccoli

• 1/2 cup (packed) fresh oregano leaves
• 1 shallot
• 4 garlic cloves
• 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 jalapeno chile, stemmed and seeded
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• One 5 1/2-pound whole roasting chicken
• 1 1/2 cups chicken broth, or more if needed
• 3/4 cup dry white wine
• 2 pounds baby broccoli (see Tip)

1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400F.
2. Combine the oregano, shallot, garlic, butter, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the jalapeno, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a food processor, and process to form a coarse paste.
3. Pat the chicken dry and then place it, breast side up, on a rack in a large roasting pan.
4. Using your fingers, loosen the skin from the chicken breast, legs, and thighs without detaching it.
5. Spread half of the jalapeno paste under the skin.
6. Tie the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
7. Spread the remaining jalapeno paste all over the outside of the chicken.
8. Pour the chicken broth and wine into the roasting pan.
9. Roast the chicken for 1 hour, basting with the pan juices every 20 minutes and adding more broth to the pan if its beginning to dry out.
10. Remove the roasting pan from the oven.
11. Arrange the baby broccoli snugly around the chicken on the rack.
12. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the broccoli, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
13. Roast the chicken with the baby broccoli, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until a meat thermometer inserted into the innermost part of the thigh (but not touching the bone) registers 160F, about 30 minutes.
14. Place the chicken on a platter, surround it with the baby broccoli, and serve.
15. Baby broccoli is also known as broccolini.
16. Dont confuse it with broccoli rabe, which has a bitter taste.
17. If you cant find baby broccoli use 2 pounds regular broccoli heads; quarter them by slicing through the stem and florets so that each quarter has some stem attached.
