Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3-pound chicken, cut up
Juice 1 lime or lemon
3 cloves garlic, whole with skins intact
1 pound tomatillos
1 jalapeno chili, seeded and sliced
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup dry white or Chinese rice wine
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup coriander leaves, plus a few for garnishing
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler or coals for the chicken. Wipe the chicken dry with paper towels and squeeze on the juice of the lime or lemon. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake the garlic in its skin until soft (about 10 minutes). Peel.
  • Meanwhile, grill the chicken until cooked. While it is cooking make the sauce. Chop the tomatillos and place them in a skillet with the chili, sugar, wine and vinegar. Cook until soft, stirring frequently. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the garlic and mash into the sauce. Pour the mixture into a food processor. Add the coriander leaves (setting a few aside for garnishing) and puree. Pour the mixture into a saucepan.
  • When the chicken is cooked, place on a serving dish. Heat the sauce, and swirl in the butter. Pour into a sauceboat and sprinkle with remaining coriander. Serve separately.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken came out tough. I think I might have overcooked it.
