Recipe: Brazilian-Spiced Oven-Roasted Chicken (with a spicy citrus rub using coconut milk)

Main Dishes - Chicken, Poultry
BRAZILIAN-SPICED OVEN-ROASTED CHICKEN

"This delicious crisp-roasted chicken is made transcendent by a combination of fresh citrus zest, hot chiles, and fragrant spice. Brazil has the largest population of people of African descent in the Western Hemisphere, and this fact is largely reflected in its cuisine of spicy foods that incorporate chiles, paprika, and copious amounts of garlic."

2 tablespoons minced jalapeno chile (about 1 large chile)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Zest of 1 orange (about 1 tablespoon)
Zest of 2 lemons (about 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 large (3 1/2 pound) chicken

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Combine jalapeno, garlic, salt, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, zests, and coconut milk to form a paste. Rub chicken skin and inner cavity with spice paste. Tie chicken to secure legs.

Bake in a roasting pan for 25 minutes to crisp skin; reduce oven to 350 degrees, and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until juices run clear.

Serve with side dish of your choice.
