Peruvian-Style Roasted Chicken with Sweet Onions
Serves 6
Time 1 hr
This wonderfully aromatic chicken dish is short on prep and big on flavor. It's also a great dish to make ahead the day before and reheat — it's even tastier after the flavors meld. Serve with rice and a green salad. Inspired by Whole Planet Foundation microcredit client recipes.

Ingredients
- 1 1/2 teaspoon sunflower oil, plus more for oiling the pan
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 large sweet onions, thickly sliced
- 1 chicken, cut into 10 serving pieces*

Method
Preheat oven to 425°F. Oil a large roasting pan and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, garlic, vinegar and oil to make a paste.
Place onions in a large bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the paste.
Rub chicken pieces with remaining paste and place in prepared pan, then cover with onions, peppers and lemon.
Roast, basting occasionally with pan juices, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
