Roast Chicken with Spicy Green Sauce

So, this turned out well...  It's really quick, but tastes like something that took a bit of time and effort.

Recipe:  Roast Chicken with Spicy Green Sauce

1 Chicken - cut up or split
1 Tablespoon olive oil
8 Medium tomatillos, roughly chopped
2-4 Jalapeños, roughly chopped
2 slices red onion, roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 Limes
salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Rinse, dry, and season chicken and get a (preferably cast iron) pot screaming hot on the stove.  After it is heated, add oil and then chicken, skin side down.  Brown for a few minutes on each side so that it has a nice colour and no longer sticks to the pan.



In a food processor, place tomatillos, jalapeños, onion, vinegar, the juice of 1 lime, and salt and pepper. Pulse until ingredients are incorporated and still a little chunky.  Spoon over chicken, cover and throw it in the oven for 30 - 45 minutes until cooked through.  Serve over cilantro rice and add a squeeze of lime just before plating.
