      Title: CHICKEN WITH CILANTRO~ GINGER & GARLIC*
 Categories: Harned 1994, Herb/spice, Main dish, Poultry, Rice/grains
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
      1 sm Bunch fresh cilantro**
           -- washed, torn in pieces
      2 ts Ginger root
           -- peeled, finely chopped
      2    Garlic cloves
           -- peeled and finely chopped
      1    3 to 4 lb. roasting chicken
           Salt and pepper; to taste
    1/2 c  Dry white wine, white wine
           -vinegar or herb vinegar
 
  *Enright called this recipe "Chicken with Coriander, Ginger and
  Garlic" but since coriander usually means cilantro seeds, I've
  changed the name to more accurately reflect the dish's ingredients.
  
  **About 1/3 cup.
  
  Tuck 1 tb. cilantro, 1 tsp. ginger and 1 tsp. garlic into the cavity
  of the bird.  Place chicken and remaining ingredients in a large,
  heavy plastic bag; tie securely. (Or place chicken in a large,
  shallow bowl with marinade ingredients.)  Marinate several hours or
  overnight, turning occasionally.
  
  Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade. Truss chicken (tie
  or skewer wings and legs); place in roasting pan. Strain marinade and
  set aside to use for basting.
  
  Roast chicken at 425 F. until beginning to brown (15 minutes), then
  reduce heat to 350 F. and roast until juices run clear when thigh
  joint is pierced (another 40 to 45 minutes). Baste often during
  roasting. Let stand a few minutes before carving.
  
  Enright writes:  "This spicy bird is good served with rice and
  defatted pan juices.  Thicken juices by heating with a little
  whipping cream or beurre manie - equal amounts of butter and flour
  kneaded into a ball."
