JALAPENO ROAST CHICKEN
This is a very tasty recipe we found in the recent People Magazine, in their Cinco De Mayo recipes. My wife and I loved it, pairing it with http://www.recipezaar.com/recipe/red-potato-and-green-bean-saute-365051. On a side note, we've all but quit using salt in our cooking. The original recipe actually called for 1 tsp salt in step number 2, but we left it out.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Combine oregano, shallot, garlic, butter, olive oil, the jalapeno and pepper in a food processor and mix until until it's a paste.
- Pat the chicken dry and place breast-side up on a rack in a large roasting pan.
- Carefully loosen the skin from the chicken breast, legs and thighs without detaching it (I had to use a small knife at some points, but do so carefully so you don't accidentally pierce the skin.
- Spread about 1/2 of the jalapeno paste under the skin.
- Tie the legs together and spread the rest of the paste on the outside of the chicken.
- Pour the chicken broth and wine into the roasting pan.
- Roast the chicken for 1 hours 30 minutes (or until fully cooked), while basting with pan juices every 15-20 minutes. If the juices start to run out, add more chicken broth and wine to the pan.
- ***Optional*** After the chicken was finished, we poured a little of the juices from the pan on the chicken after it was cut and plated.
