Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Place the chicken on a baking sheet fitted with a rack. Sprinkle the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Roast the chicken until it is rich and caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the leg (avoiding bone) reads 160 degrees F, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow the bird to rest for 20 minutes.
- In a mortar and pestle, add the capers, garlic, lemon zest, anchovies, flaky salt and black pepper to taste. Mash into a coarse paste. (You can also use a mini chopper and pulse into a coarse paste, then transfer to a bowl.) Coarsely chop the dill, arugula, basil, parsley and tarragon, if using, together, then add to the anchovy-caper paste. Stir in the oil and set aside.
- Cut the chicken into drumsticks and thighs, then halve the breasts (with wings still attached), and arrange on a platter. Spoon the salsa verde over the chicken. Season with some more pepper and smoked salt. Serve.

DILL PICKLE SALSA
This is one out of my recipe files from Gourmet class. We had to come up with something "different". What's more different than salsa made with a dill pickle? But, it is good, even if I do say so myself. It's not hot, but if you prefer a hotter salsa, use the hot dill pickles. The yield will depend on the size of your tomato.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Vine-ripened tomatoes are the best choice for salsa, as they have a more intense flavor. If you can't find vine-ripened tomatoes, use Roma tomatoes instead.
- Dice the tomatoes evenly: This will help to ensure that the salsa has a consistent texture.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro and dill, will give your salsa a more vibrant flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use less, as they are more concentrated.
- Don't over-process the salsa: A chunky salsa is more flavorful than a smooth salsa. If you use a food processor, be sure to pulse the salsa only until it is combined.
- Chill the salsa before serving: This will help to develop the flavors and make the salsa more refreshing.
