Step by Step Method

Step 1

Turn the oven to 450°F. In a food processor, finely chop the lemon, olive oil, cilantro, garlic, and cumin.

Step 3

Roast chicken for 45 minutes, pasting it with its pan juices, until the chicken reaches 170F on an instant-read thermometer.

Step 4

Alternative roasting method: Roast 1 hour at 300°F
