Ginger and Chile Roasted Chicken

Gulfcoastguy

Okay I bought Michael Symin's newest book "Fix It With Food". He had a recipe with a whole roasted chicken marinated in an herb and chili paste. No chicken in the house but two pork tenderloins stepped up and volunteered. Currently marinating in the fridge until tomorrow.

Ginger and Chile Roasted Chicken

Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped and peeled fresh ginger
1 jalapeno deseeded and chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems
juice of one lime

pat the chicken dry, season inside and out and refrigerate uncovered for 2 to overnight
remove the chicken while you preheat the oven to 450F(Egg indirect)
Put all but salt and pepper into a food processor or blender and turn into a paste. Coast the inside and outside of the chicken with the paste and season with salt and black pepper.
Roast until done.

First flip.
Solution, stand at three o’clock to take the pic.

Looks good! How was it? It’s close to the green lightning shrimp recipe if I’m remembering right.

It’s good but it just looks like green lightning shrimp. It has a strong ginger taste.
