  • Pan Roasted Chicken:
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons Organic Peruvian, divided
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic

INSTRUCTIONS

  • 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Place lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the Peruvian Seasoning and garlic in food processor or blender; cover. Process just until smooth. Gradually add oil with the machine running. Process until well blended and smooth. Set aside.

Rub reserved lemon and garlic seasoning mixture evenly over chicken skin. To Butterfly Chicken : Place chicken breast-side down on large cutting board. Using poultry shears or kitchen scissors, cut along both sides of backbone to remove it. Discard backbone.
