SPICED ROAST CHICKEN WITH ORANGE-CILANTRO CHIMICHURRI

Roast chicken is so reliable and satisfying that it keeps making its way onto our tables night after night. This spiced version, served with a citrusy, herbaceous chimichurri, is an update on the classic. Make the chimichurri the day before, if you wish, and add any leftovers to potato salad, grilled meats or fish.
