Spice-Rubbed Roast Chicken with Two Sauces

Ingredients

Spice-Rubbed Roast Chicken

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 garlic clove, minced

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon minced rosemary

1 tablespoon ground fennel seeds

1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper

One 3 1/2-pound chicken, chilled

Kosher salt

Piri Piri Sauce, for serving

Wasakaka Sauce

1/3 cup fresh lime juice

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup minced garlic

1/4 cup minced red onion

3 fresh red chiles, such as cayenne, stemmed, seeded, and thinly sliced crosswise

2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

2 tablespoons finely chopped oregano

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Make the chicken

In a bowl, whisk the oil, garlic, lemon zest and juice, rosemary, fennel seeds, and pepper. Rub the mixture all over the chicken, inside and out. Let come to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Twist the wings of the chicken behind the back and tie the legs together; set breast side up in a roasting pan. Season all over with salt. Roast for about 55 minutes, until the juices run clear when an inner thigh is pierced. Transfer to a carving board and let rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the Wasakaka Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine the lime juice with the water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients. Let the sauce cool.

To serve

Cut the chicken into 8 pieces and serve with the Wasakaka and Piri Piri Sauces.
