Ingredients
  • 3 pods black cardamom
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 medium red onion
  • 2 small lemons, whole
  • 1 big chicken, split in half lengthwise or 2 small chickens, whole
  • 1 teaspoon dried cilantro
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF
  2. Wash, dry, prick and tuck lemons into chicken cavities. Place the chickens, cardamom pods, cinnamon, and whole red onion into a large Dutch oven. Fill with enough water to cover the chickens, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat; boil for 20 minutes. Reserve chicken stock for another preparation.
  3. Remove the chickens and onion from the Dutch oven and place in a roasting pan. Season with the dried cilantro, black pepper, and salt; cover with aluminum foil.
  4. Bake the chickens in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking until crispy and golden brown.
  5. You can use the reserved stock to cook some rice or pasta and serve it along with the chickens.
