Almond Garlic Sauce with Grilled Chicken

Almond Garlic Sauce
1-1/4 cups (125 g/4 oz) ground almonds
1/2 cup (30 g/1 oz) fresh breadcrumbs
6 cloves garlic, chopped
Salt and freshly ground white pepper, to taste
Juice of 1 lemon
7 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon aged red wine vinegar, or to taste

Almond Garlic Sauce:
Place the almonds, breadcrumbs, garlic, salt and pepper in an electric blender or food processor. Process for 10 seconds. Whisk the lemon juice and half the olive oil in a bowl and, with the motor running, slowly add to the almond mixture. When incorporated, slowly add the remaining oil, still with the motor running. If necessary, adjust the seasoning with some red wine vinegar. This sauce can be served immediately or refrigerated for up to 2 days before use.

Grilled Chicken
3 corn fed chickens, (2 lb.)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup (90 mL/3 fl oz) extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon dried Greek (Mediterranean) oregano
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large brown (yellow) onion, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Grilled Chicken:
Cut each chicken along the backbone and remove all of the excess bones. Flatten the chickens by pressing down on the breasts firmly with the palms of your hands.

Place the lemon juice, olive oil, oregano, wine, garlic, onion, salt and pepper in an electric blender or food processor. Process into a smooth puree. Pour this puree over the chickens, rubbing it into the chicken as you do so. Leave to marinate, preferably overnight.

Wipe any excess marinade off the chicken. Grill on a hot barbecue or grill plate for approximately 40 minutes, turning the chicken every 10 minutes. Allow resting for 10 minutes before serving with the Almond Garlic Sauce.

Garlic Pecan Fried Chicken

1 lb. boneless chicken breast
2 oz pecans
1 tsp. salt
2-tsp. spices mixed basil, rosemary, & savory
4 cloves garlic
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. sugar
1 cup buttermilk
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. salt
Vegetable shortening for frying

The key is the marinade. A great deal of this will end up sticking to the chicken when you fry it, but it also flavors the chicken and makes it more moist. Place the pecans, 1-tsp salt, the spices, the garlic cloves, half the pepper, the sugar and the buttermilk in a blender. Pulse and blend until the garlic and pecans are chopped up very finely.
