Ingredients
-
5 thigh, bone and skin removed Chicken Thigh
1 small Onions, raw
4 tbsp (C) Vinegar, Red Wine (Gr Value)
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 serving Lemon juice - of half lemon, 1 Tablspoon (Atkins)
4 clove Garlic
2 serving Fresh Anaheim Chiles (by WLEEBAUMBACH)
5 grams Ginger Root
1 tsp Oregano, ground
1 tsp Paprika
3 tsp Kosher Salt (by 65PLUS1)
Directions
IN a blender, combine the onion, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, chiles, ginger, salt, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, oregano, cayenne, and 1/4 cup water. Blend on high speed until smooth.
DRY the chicken with paper towels. Using sharp kitchen shears or a sharp knife, cut along one side of the backbone, leaving the other side attached. Lay the chicken breast-side up on a cutting board and press down on the breastbone with your hands to flatten the chicken. Put the chicken in a large zip-top plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Massage the marinade all over the chicken, then squeeze as much air out of the bag as possible and seal. Place it on a baking sheet with the chicken breast-side down and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
PREHEAT the oven to 425°F. Line a 4-inch-deep roasting pan with parchment paper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off (discard the bag).
PLACE the chicken in the prepared roasting pan and roast on the bottom rack for 40 to 45 minutes, until the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°F on an instant-read thermometer. Use a turkey baster or large spoon to baste the chicken with the rendered juices in the pan.
SET the oven to broil, but keep the chicken on the bottom rack (putting the parchment paper closer to the broiler could cause it to catch fire). Broil for 4 to 5 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
TRANSFER the chicken to a grooved cutting board to catch any juices and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before carving and serving.
Enjoy!
