GREEN GODDESS ROASTED CHICKEN
Green Goddess dressing - a creamy, piquant blend of herbs, garlic and anchovies - is good to eat on salad. And it's wonderful as a dipping sauce for vegetables. But its best use may be as a marinade for roast chicken. The mild chicken absorbs all the zippy flavors of the dressing, to emerge from the oven fragrant and golden, flecked with green. To intensify the herbal flavor, some of the green goddess mixture is set aside to use as a sauce. You could even pour a little on a salad or some vegetables on the side, and enjoy the best of all the Green Goddess variations in one savory bite.

Steps:
- In a blender, purée buttermilk, basil, chives, garlic, anchovies (if using), scallion, lime zest and juice, salt and pepper until smooth.
- Put chicken halves in a bowl or large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and cover with three-quarters of the Green Goddess marinade. (Save the rest to serve as a sauce.) Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 500 degrees. Remove chicken from the marinade, shaking off as much liquid as possible, and lay the halves on a rimmed baking sheet. (Discard the used marinade.) Pat chicken tops dry with paper towels and drizzle with oil. Roast until cooked through, about 30 to 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving, with some of the reserved sauce if you like.

Steps:
- Place the chicken legs in a large resealable plastic bag. Combine the Green Goddess dressing as well as the parsley and paprika. Pour over the chicken legs. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
- When ready to cook, set up your grill for indirect medium high 350 degree heat, and preheat, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or you can smoke them, I like to use maple wood for poultry or mesquite is good too.
- Drain the chicken legs. Arrange the legs directly on the grill grate and grill indirectly, turning once, for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the legs are golden brown and cooked through. Then grill over direct heat for 5 minutes to add a little "char" flavor, moving them around cause you don't want them to burn. Serve at once. (Can also be served cold, but the skin will lose its crispiness.).

Wipe excess dressing from chicken and lightly pat dry; place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment. Drizzle with oil and season lightly with salt. Roast, breast-side up, until skin is dark golden and a thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 160°, 40 to 50 minutes (depending on size). Let stand 20 minutes.
