Ingredients for Slow Roasted Chicken in Adobo, Tomatillo Sauce

Method

Directions for Slow Roasted Chicken in Adobo, Tomatillo Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Rub the whole chicken with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, and cumin.

  2. 2

    Make the Sauce

    In a blender, combine the adobo sauce, tomatillos, garlic, and onion. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine and Roast

    Place the chicken in a roasting pan and pour the tomatillo-adobo sauce over it, ensuring the chicken is well coated. Cover with aluminum foil.

  4. 4

    Slow Roast

    Roast in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. Remove the foil in the last 30 minutes to allow the skin to crisp up.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Garnish the chicken with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy with rice or tortillas.
