PUERTO RICAN STYLE WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN RECIPE #chicken #chickenrecipes

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 whole chicken rinsed
• 3 tablespoons of white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon of minced garlic (about four cloves)
• 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon of adobo*
• 2 packets of sazon (optional)
• 1/3 cup of mojo (optional)*
• 3 large carrots, cut into chunks
• 4 russet potatoes, sliced

Make sure the chicken cavity is empty. Rinse chicken, and put small holes throughout the skin. Rub vinegar into chicken and allow to sit for five minutes. Rub oil all over the outside of the chicken. Next, rub garlic all over the chicken, making sure to get garlic into any pockets.

In a small dish, mix together the oregano, salt, pepper, parsley, and adobo. Pour over the chicken, and rub it in.

If you’re opting to add the sazon, you can rub that on at this time.

Add mojo, cover, and refrigerate 2-24 hours.

Preheat the oven to 350°. Transfer the chicken to a deep baking dish. Add vegetables. Bake for 3 hours, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly.

Serve and enjoy!
