Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves
6g
3 lb whole chicken
1360g
2 tbsp lime juice
30g
1/3 cup vinegar
72g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
2 tbsp paprika
30g
2 tsp ground cumin
6g
1 tsp dried oregano
5g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
2 avocados
400g
2 red hot chili peppers
80g
1/2 red onion
54g
1/4 cup coriander leaves
3.75g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- Rinse the whole chicken under cold running water and pat it dry with paper towels.
- Rub the marinade all over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated, including under the skin and inside the cavity.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for the best flavor.
3. Roast the Chicken:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the marinated chicken in a roasting pan.
- Pour the white wine into the bottom of the pan.
- Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 165°F (74°C).
4. Prepare the Guacamole:
- While the chicken is roasting, prepare the guacamole.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the avocados until creamy but with some chunks remaining for texture.
- Add the finely chopped red chili peppers and red onion.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are combined. Set aside.
5. Serve:
- Once the chicken is cooked through and beautifully roasted, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
- Serve hot pieces of roasted chicken with a generous scoop of guacamole on the side.

Tips:

- Make sure to marinate the chicken for at least a couple of hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.

- For a crispier skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before applying the marinade.

- Roast the chicken on a rack to allow the heat to circulate evenly and to prevent the bottom from becoming soggy.

- When preparing the guacamole, use ripe avocados for the best texture and flavor. You can tell an avocado is ripe when it yields to gentle pressure.

- Adjust the amount of red hot chili peppers in the guacamole according to your preferred level of spiciness.

- Serve the roast chicken immediately after it comes out of the oven to ensure it remains juicy and tender, and don't forget to garnish with fresh coriander leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

With its combination of savory roast chicken and zesty guacamole, this South American-inspired dish is sure to be a hit at your table. The marinade infuses the chicken with rich flavors while the guacamole provides a refreshing counterpoint. Follow these tips for the best results, and enjoy a delicious meal that celebrates the vibrant elements of South American cuisine.
