Well hello! I'm excited that you are thinking about making this naturally low carb Roasted Chimichurri Chicken Recipe. It's fan-freaking-tastic and takes boring old roasted chicken to new exotic, spicy level.

You can thank Argentina for this wonderful dish that your family will ask for again and again.

🥘Ingredients:

  • 5 lb Chicken (4-5 pounds whole) or your favorite cuts.

Chimichurri Butter

  • ½ stick butter Melted
  • 5 tablespoon Chimichurri Sauce Follow the link to this easy recipe. It takes 5 minutes.

👩🏾‍🍳How to make the Chimichurri Chicken:

Chimichurri Butter

  • Make the Chimichurri Sauce if you haven't already. The link to the easy recipe is in the post.
  • Mix the melted butter with the Chimichurri Sauce until combined.

Roasted Chicken

  • Pre-heat oven to 400F
  • Rub the Chimichurri butter all over chicken, including under the skin as mush as possible and place in a roasting pan.
  • Bake the chicken (uncovered) at 400F for 30 minutes
  • Lower heat to 350F, baste chicken and bake for another 60-75 minutes or until the thighs register 165°F or 74°C. Rest (tented with foil) for at least 10-15 minutes before carving the chicken.

If your chicken is larger, smaller or you are just making your favorite cuts, you can start with baking for 50-60 minutes before checking for doneness with a meat thermometer.

The meat should read 165F and have a crispy skin when done. A good rule of thumb is about 15 minutes per pound of baking time per pound of whole chicken.

Pieces or "cuts" of meat will take less time.

  • Serve immediately with additional Chimichurri Sauce or sauce of your choice.

I love this chicken with spicy mayo as a dipping sauce.

🍽️Equipment:

  • Roasting Pan

I love cast iron for roasting chicken. Nothing beats it's ability to keep heat even. And this enameled pan makes clean up easy.

  • Chefs Knife
  • Cutting board

💰Money Saving Coupons:

I made this dish with fresh organic produce from Misfits..

If you want to check them out just use this code and you'll automatically get $10.00 off of your first order. Cool right?

I also used top quality, organic chicken from Butcherbox. (It's less expensive than the cheap cuts at my local chain grocery store)

Use this code to get a special deal ($30.00 off) on your order. I have done the math and this service has saved me a lot of money on quality, organic and grass fed meat that keeps my family healthy and happy.

📋Tips & FAQ's:

Do I have to use a whole chicken?

Nope. You can use any cuts you like. It's easier if your chicken has the skin on so that you can rub the sauce into the meat in a place that it will have no choice but the "stick". Plus crispy chicken skin is amazing.

But, you can use skinless cuts if that your "thang". Just make sure to marinate it for at least 15 - 60 minutes if time allows and cook to 165F.

What side dishes go great with this spicy Chimichurri roast chicken recipe?

  • Radish Au Gratin
  • Spanish Riced Cauliflower
  • Tahini Cream Green Beans
  • Creamed Brussel Sprouts
  • Frijoles Borrachos (low carb drunken beans)
