Photo: Roasted Chicken with a Guava Glaze Recipe
Ingredients
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup guava paste
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons cane vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 cup sliced red onion
- 1 (3-pound) chicken, rinsed well inside and out and patted dry
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- Fried, salted, thinly sliced plantains, for serving, if desired
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine all the glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer until reduced to 3/4 cup.
Place the chicken in a roasting pan. Season inside and out with the salt and pepper and stuff the cavity with the thyme. Place in the oven and roast for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the chicken with the glaze. Roast the chicken for another 15 minutes, until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the deepest part of the thigh/leg joint registers160 degrees F. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly before carving into pieces and serving with fried plantains, if desired.

Made it last night. Chicken was very moist with a great guava flavor. Served it with Alton's fried plantains!

The chicken turned out very tender, but the flavor was just ok.

I tried this recipe and it was so easy to make and so good, the guava glaze was amazing, we love guava in our home, I make guava cake, guava pancakes and I'm always experimenting with tropical fruits, don't know why I never thought of the guava glaze myself! Just kidding, kudos for Emeril. The only thing that was missing was the Mojito, which I'm surprise usually he has some kind of drink to go with the food.
