Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Blend cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, mayo, and a pinch of salt until bright green and smooth, ~90 seconds.

  2. Step 2

    Set oven to broil. Place chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan, season with paprika and salt.

  3. Step 3

    Broil chicken 4 inches from heat until skin crisps and chars at edges, 6–8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Drizzle half the green sauce over chicken, then broil 2 minutes more until sauce bubbles slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a platter. Serve hot with remaining sauce on the side.
