2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 tablespoons minced fresh mint

STEP 2
Heat oven to 425˚F. Place chicken on a rack in an oven-safe pan. Roast for 20 minutes.

Perfect pairings for this chicken include Aji Verde (Peruvian green sauce), rice, and/or fried plantains.

Extra info:

The first stop on our international flavor trip is to Peru with this South American inspired chicken recipe.

The recipe can be made with a whole chicken or bone in skin on chicken pieces. Both are available in our meat department.

The bulk foods department is a great place to buy your dry spices. Not only is it a cost saver, but it also ensures your spices stay fresh because you can buy as little or as much as you want. While stopping by bulk foods for your spices also grab some rice to serve alongside your chicken.

There are three different categories of paprika. Regular paprika, the mildest in flavor and best used as a garnish. Hungarian paprika, consisting of different types, but all tend to be primarily sweet. And lastly, the preferred for this recipe, Spanish paprika. Ranging from sweet to spicy, many Spanish paprikas tend to have a hint of smoke from chilies being dried over oak wood fires.

This recipe is best paired with a light crisp and refreshing beer such as your favorite lager or pilsner.

Aji verde and Tostones (Fried plantains) are both recipes found on our website that consist mostly of our beautiful fresh produce that will greet you upon entering our market.

Gem avocados (ingredient in Aji verde) are on Big Board sale this week!
