This is my take on Peruvian-style roasted chicken, served with my favorite - I mean absolute FAVORITE - beans and rice recipe. The chicken is so tender from the marinating process and the beans have a bacon-garlic flavor that will just make you happy...trust me.
Ingredients for chicken
1 3-4 lb roaster chicken
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 lime
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp salt
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp paprika
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 tsp sugar
dash of red pepper flakes
Ingredients for beans & rice
2 tbsp canola oil
1 cup rice (I prefer brown)
2 ¾ cups chicken broth or water
1 tsp salt (omit if using chicken broth)
2 slices bacon, cut into small pieces
¼ cup sweet onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced¼ cup sweet onion, diced
1 15 oz can pinto beans, rinsed & drained
1 tsp salt
Step One
Make sure to wash chicken thoroughly, removing everything from inside; pat dry and set aside in a large roasting pan (I also like to tie the legs up).
Step Two
Stir together remaining ingredients (or use food processor if you have one). Spread over chicken and underneath skin. Cover with saran wrap and marinate - preferably for 6 hours - but if you are short on time 1 hour will do : )
Step Three
Preheat oven to 375°. Cook chicken for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Step Four
In a non-stick saucepan, heat 1 tbsp oil on medium high heat. Add in rice and sauté until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes (this gives it some additional flavor).
Step Five
Add in 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer until broth is absorbed (following package instructions for rice). When done, turn to low to keep warm.

Step Seven
Add in beans, and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly. Take a fork and smash about ¼ of the beans in the pan (this will help to create a good texture).

Enjoy, y'all!
