The deep yet mild heat of the Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil gives this chicken a whole new flavor.
Ingredients:
1 cup Chipotle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 tablespoons garlic, chopped
3/4 cup cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons ground chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 roasting chicken, about 3 1/2 - 4 pounds
