Ingredients
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, white vinegar, Dijon mustard, and all the spices: cumin, paprika, turmeric, oregano, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it gets under the skin for maximum flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the chicken on a roasting pan or a baking sheet lined with foil.
Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the chicken.
Tip: For extra crispy skin, broil for the last 3-5 minutes.
In a blender or food processor, combine all the sauce ingredients: mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, cilantro, parsley, green onions, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, white vinegar, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño for heat.
Transfer the sauce to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Let the roasted chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Serve the chicken with the Creamy Green Sauce on the side, along with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or salad.
