Rubbing butter on chicken skin (as well as under it) and letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours is a great way to make it extra-crispy, with moist breast meat. Here, Floyd Cardoz flavors the butter with cilantro, garlic, mint, chiles, cumin and lime juice.
2 cups small cilantro sprigs
2 cups mint leaves
6 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
2 serrano chiles, thinly sliced (with seeds)
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons ground cumin
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Kosher salt
Two 3 1/2-pound chickens, backbones and wing tips removed
