One 3- to 5-pound chicken, washed and dried

The day before roasting the chicken, combine the hot water with the peppercorns and red pepper.

Let stand 30 minutes, or until softened.

Drain, then pound along with the coriander seeds and savory in a mortar with a pestle, or in a small bowl with the handle of a large knife, until the mix is a paste.

(You could puree the spices in a coffee grinder, then mash with other ingredients.)
5
Blend the fresh coriander, garlic and oil into the paste.
6
Rub over the chicken (inside and out), set on a plate, cover and refrigerate overnight.
7
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
8
Rub a little butter in bottom of a shallow baking pan to keep chicken from sticking.

Season the chicken inside and out with salt, set breast-side-up in the pan and roast.
10
Figure 10 minutes to the pound, plus 15 extra minutes.
11
Once done, give a 10-minute rest outside the oven.

Of course, you could slowly roast the chicken over wood charcoal as well.
