Ingredients
  

  • For the Chicken
  • 1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. Lemon or Lime Juice preferably Lime
  • 5 Cloves of Garlic
  • 2 Tsp. Cumin
  • 2 Tsp. Coriander
  • 1/2 Tsp. Oregano
  • 2 Tsp. Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 Tsp. Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/2 Cup Diced Onion
  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • Aji Sauce:
  • Depending on your level of spicy preference 1 whole green jalapeno for super spicy I used just a little bit of one jalapeno for just a kick.
  • 1 Cup of Fresh Cilantro
  • 1 Clove of Garlic
  • 2 Tbsp. Lime Juice
  • 1 Tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/4 Cup of Mayo
  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt

Method
 

  1. First mix all of your chicken ingredients together (except the chicken) into a blender. Run the blender so you have a smooth mixture.
  2. Pat the chicken down, and rub all over with the mixture.
  3. Pre-heat your oven to 325F, place the chicken in the oven and cook until the internal temp reaches 180 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 2 hours).
  4. Rotate your pan (if you can)  every 30 minutes in the oven.
  5. In the last 30 minutes, prepare your Aji sauce. Take all of your ingredients, toss them into a blender, run the blender, and voila you have tasty green sauce.
  6. Once your chicken is done, serve with your sauce and enjoy!
