Succulent South American spiced chicken with a golden crust.
Ingredients:
  • 5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1.8kg whole chicken
  • 1 lime, halved
  • 60ml white wine vinegar
  • 60ml olive oil
  • 20.00 gm smoked paprika (pimenton) (see note)
  • 15.00 gm ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 100ml white wine
  • Tortillas, heated, to serve
  • 2 avocados
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, chopped
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves, finely chopped
Instructions:
  • Combine the garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes, then let it rest.
  • Massage the chicken with the lime halves, ensuring to place them inside the cavity. Gently loosen the skin of the chicken breast without tearing it, then season with garlic salt underneath. Secure the chicken legs together with kitchen string.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, paprika, cumin, oregano, and 2 tablespoons of wine. Add chicken to the bowl and coat well in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 200C.
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan and generously coat it with the marinade. Season the chicken, then drizzle with the remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) white wine. Roast at 200°C for 15 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 170°C and continue roasting for another hour, basting with the pan juices every 15 minutes, until fully cooked - juices should run clear when the thigh is pierced. Rest the chicken loosely covered with foil for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Combine all the guacamole ingredients in a bowl, season to taste, and gently mash with a fork until combined.
  • Slice the roast chicken and enjoy it with fresh tortillas and creamy guacamole.
