Roasted Chicken

Method

Roasted Chicken

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the whole chicken under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels.

2

Season the Chicken

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the chicken, including inside the cavity.

3

Roast the Chicken

Place the seasoned chicken on a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Japanese Sweet Potato

4

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

While the chicken is roasting, prepare the Japanese sweet potatoes. Peel and cube them into bite-sized pieces.

5

Season and Roast

In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the oven (you can do this alongside the chicken) for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Feta

6

Add Feta

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top while they are still warm.

Salsa Macha

7

Prepare the Salsa Macha

In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the dried chiles for a few minutes until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.

8

Blend the Salsa

In a blender, combine the toasted chiles, garlic cloves, vegetable oil, salt, and vinegar. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.
