Instructions
  1. Step 1) Prep and butterfly your chicken. Place on half of a baking sheet.
  2. Step 2) In a small bowl, mix all marinade ingredients together until fully combined.
  3. Step 3) Brush the whole surface of the chicken with marinade ingredients, ensuring to get the nooks and crannies. Place in the refrigerator and allow to marinate at least 4 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Step 4) Preheat grill to about 400–425°F.
  5. Step 5) Roast chicken until thickest part of breast and leg reach 165°F. Depending on the size of your chicken, this should take about 45 minutes. If the skin begins charring too much for your liking, you can tent with foil.
  6. Step 6) While the chicken roasts, prepare the aji verde sauce. Using a food processor, blend all ingredients, taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  7. Step 7) Serve the chicken with the aji verde sauce and roasted garlic cloves.
