3 lbs bone in, skin on chicken, trimmed and patted dry
10 medium garlic cloves
1 Tbsp finely grated lemon zest
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp EVOO
1/4 c finely chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 c water
Instructions
Heat oven to 450 degrees. Combine spices. Place
chicken on a rimmed metal baking sheet and evenly
season both sides with spice mixture. Place
garlic in a single layer in the center and amongst
the chicken to protect from scorching during
roasting.
Roast chicken 30-40 minutes. White meat should
measure 160 and dark meat 175 degrees. Transfer
to platter, leaving garlic behind.
Using a fork, mash garlic into a paste on the
baking sheet. Carefully pour on water and use a
wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits. Pour
mixture into small bowl and whisk in the lemon
zest, juice, oil and cilantro. Serve sauce with
chicken.
