Green Chicken!

This is Nom Nom Paleos amazing recipe called...My Sister's Phenomenal Green Chicken that I made for dinner. Which was the closest thing we did to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, last week being that we were going to be traveling. 

All my hubby says is,"Wow, Wow, Wow. This is so good." While eating it. Others have enjoyed it a lot too. The flavors are just too excellent to not!!

From her website...

Here’s what I gathered to make enough grilled drumsticks to feed 4-6 people:

• 1 medium sweet onion, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
• 1 cup packed cilantro leaves and stems
• 1 1/4 cups packed basil leaves
• 1/4 cup packed mint leaves
• 4 tablespoons of  Red Boat fish sauce
• 3 peeled garlic cloves
• zest of 1 lime
• plenty ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon of Aleppo pepper
• 2 tablespoons of apple juice (or 1 teaspoon of maple syrup if you’re not on a Whole30)
•  Kosher salt
• 3 pounds of chicken drumsticks or thighs

Directions:

Put everything in the blender, except the chicken. Put the chicken in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade in. Let it marinate for at least an hour, but overnight up to a day is best. I like to poke the chicken with a fork all over to get more of the flavor soaked in. 

Cook it up on a grill or to bake it out it on a wire rack and cook for 35-45mins at 400 deg F. and flip the chicken at 20mins. *I keep it in the marinade and bake in a dish. 

The cilantro and basil go great together, but I think one of the secret ingredients is the fish sauce, especially the Red Boat Fish Sauce she recommends. We love cooking with fish sauce and if you do you'll know that...It smells soooo bad, but tastes soooo good!

Enjoy!
