How to Make Paleo Roasted Chicken
In a large bowl, season the chicken with sea salt, thoroughly, then place into the refrigerator, uncovered, overnight.
When ready to cook, allow the chicken to come to room temperature (around 20 minutes). While it does this, you an preheat your oven to 450°F.
Now, in a large skillet, add the dry coriander seeds. Roast over medium heat, for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking or stirring frequently. Roast just until fragrant. Then, transfer them to a mortar and pestle to crush, or use a coffee grinder to crush.
Now, in an oven safe skillet or Dutch oven, place the chicken, and roast uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and set the chicken aside to rest.
Into this same Dutch oven, add the shallots and grapes to the rendered fat in the pan. Stir regularly, until they are softened. Then, add in the coriander seeds you crushed along with the chicken broth.
Now, add in the mustard and let this simmer until it reduces by half. Usually 5 to 7 minutes. Season with additional salt and black pepper, then stir in fresh thyme.
Serve the chicken with grapes and sauce.
