2 bunches scallions (white and green parts) ends trimmed
2 tablespoons paprika
1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lime
2 tablespoons molasses
1 4-pound chicken cut into pieces
Lime wedges (optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 400° F. Place the whole scallions in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, allspice, nutmeg, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, oil, lime juice, and molasses. Spread the spice mixture over and under the chicken skin. Place the chicken on top of the scallions. Roast until the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve the chicken with the roasted scallions and lime wedges, if desired.
Tip: For a more intense flavor, rub the spice mixture over the chicken, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours before roasting.
I made it the other day and got tons of compliments on it!! absolutely delish!! i had no white sugar so I used sugar cane instead, and quite a few blueberries got crushed so the cake was kinda purple inside. Other than that it was GREAT! thanks a lot! :)) […]
Most "Expiration" dates are actually "Best Before" dates. This means that the product (such as bread) is best consumed in it's current state (soft and fluffy) before the date. Perhaps if you explain the difference it will help? […]

It may not contribute much to the 'healthy' side of things, but a few smears of marscapone mixed with a bit of vannilla extract on the crust before putting down the fruit is deelicious! […]
Maruja, thank you for your feedback, however I have to disagree with you on one point. There is nothing in this post to contradict the statement that pasta is "likely the ancestor of ancient Asian noodles"-- the post provides an overview of how pasta likely traveled from Asia to Europe, perhaps via nomadic Arab tribes. I never claimed that the reve […]
I was excited to find this source on the web, hoping it would serve all the gastronomic information a foodie craves. I was saddened to find that it needs such editorial attention. A sentence claims that pasta is likely the "ancestor of ancient Asian noodles," the reverse is actually true, as the author acknowledges in the following paragraphs. Late […]
Waste not and so simple to make, it's my kind of treats! But how do I convince my stubborn dad who checks the expiration date on everything, that stale bread and "expired chiffon cake/croissants" recreated in this fashion is perfectly safe to eat? […]
