Description
The paste that's used to flavor the chicken can be used for turkey, pork, or even fish, too. It's a piquant blend of hot red chili pepper, garlic cloves, and fresh cilantro. Be sure to get this mix under the chicken skin as well as in the cavity, which will also hold a pierced whole lemon (piercing will allow the juices to flow out in the oven). The potatoes are cooked right in the same pan for a meal in one.
