Vaihe vaiheelta

1
Pat the whole chicken completely dry with paper towels, inside and out.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensuring the chicken skin is very dry is the key to getting it crispy during roasting.
2
Combine all marinade ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Noin 5 min
3
Blend the marinade ingredients until a smooth, thick paste forms.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Scrape down the sides of the blender once or twice to make sure everything is well combined.
4
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, making sure to get it under the skin of the breasts and thighs.
Noin 8 min
Kokin vinkki: Gently lift the skin with your fingers to create pockets for the marinade.
5
Place the chicken in a large bowl or zip-top bag, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Kokin vinkki: A longer marinating time will result in a more flavorful and tender chicken.
6
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and place a roasting rack inside a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet.
7
Place the marinated chicken on the rack and roast until the skin is dark and crispy and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 74°C (165°F).
Noin 1 t 15 min
Kokin vinkki: If the skin starts to get too dark before the chicken is cooked, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes before carving.
Noin 10 min
Kokin vinkki: Resting allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring it stays moist.
