Grilled Whole Chicken with Starfruit Cranberry Sauce

Recipe Ingredients:
8 cloves garlic, peeled
1 red onion, peeled and chopped
1 jalapeño pepper seeded
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 whole chicken, about 4 pounds

Starfruit Cranberry Sauce:
1 1/4 cups orange juice
1 cup granulated sugar
2 ripe starfruit, diced
1 package cranberries (12 ounces), rinsed
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger

Cooking Directions:
1 – In food processor or blender, place garlic cloves, red onion, jalapeño pepper, parsley, cilantro, salt, cumin, oregano, orange juice and vegetable oil. Purée thoroughly. Set marinade aside.
Rinse chicken and pat dry.
2 – Gently insert fingers under skin, loosening as much as possible without puncturing over breast, thighs and drumsticks. Place chicken in plastic oven roasting bag. Rub marinade into meat beneath the loosened skin and into body and neck cavities.

5 – While chicken cooks, prepare Starfruit Cranberry Sauce by combining orange juice and sugar in heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring. Reduce heat to simmer; cook 5 minutes. Stir in starfruit, cranberries and ginger. Simmer, stirring, until berries pop, about 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Makes 4 servings.

Cranberries………

They are often referred to as a “super food.” Half a cup of cranberries contains only 25 calories. The nutrients in cranberries have been linked to a lower risk of urinary tract infections, prevention of certain types of cancer, improved immune function, and decreased blood pressure.
