Time 1h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 4-to-5-pound chickens, rinsed, patted dry and quartered
1 12-ounce bottle beer, preferably amber ale
1/2 cup sherry or apple cider vinegar
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
5 cloves garlic
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 serrano chile, seeded
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Marinate the chicken: Put the chicken in a large zip-top bag with the beer and vinegar. Seal and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Make the spice rub: Pulse the garlic, oregano, olive oil, serrano chile, cumin seeds, paprika, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a mini food processor to make a paste. (If you don't have a mini food processor, finely chop the garlic, oregano and chile, then whisk in the spices and olive oil.)
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Rub all over and under the skin with the spice rub, put on a rack set on a rimmed baking sheet and let sit at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brush the chicken lightly with olive oil and roast until slightly golden, 30 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees F and continue roasting until the chicken skin is golden brown and crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F, about 25 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven, brush the skin with the pan drippings and let rest 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and season with salt.

I'm not a big fan of serrano chiles, but this recipe was still delicious. The rub had just the right amount of heat.

The recipe was easy to follow, but it took longer than 30 minutes to cook the chicken all the way through.

The chicken was a little dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or olive oil to the rub next time.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, so I used mild serrano chiles. It was still flavorful without being too hot.

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it cooked perfectly in 30 minutes. I served it with steamed broccoli and brown rice.

This dish was an absolute hit with my family! The chicken was moist and flavorful, with just the right amount of heat from the serrano chiles.
