Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Chicken
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • cup lime juice or lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp white pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp garlic
  • 1 tbsp paprika powder
  • 1 tbsp mild chili peppers flakes, or cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Pour the pineapple juice, lime juice, and white vinegar together in a medium size bowl.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to the liquid mix. Salt, black pepper, white pepper powder, oregano, garlic powder, paprika powder, mild chili powder (or cayenne pepper).
  • After washing and cleaning the whole chicken dry it with bounty paper as well as you can. Dense the whole chicken into the prepared marinade and keep them in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. But if you can leave it in the fridge overnight is better.
  • Put in the oven for 1 hour, at 400°. Make sure you put aluminum foil on the top so it won't burn the skin right away, and it cooks the chicken very well inside and out. For the last 30 minutes take off the aluminum foil, so it will give a nice golden brown color on the outside. Leave it on 350°. For the best result choose the cooking mode at Convection Roast.
