The video is about cooking two whole chickens using a special marinade. The chickens were butterflied to allow the marinade to penetrate better. The marinade consisted of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, sage, onion, star anise, cinnamon, salt, cumin powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
After marinating, the chickens were placed in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about an hour. Meanwhile, the chef prepared roasted potatoes with chile de arbol and a classic red rice dish.
To accompany the chicken, a Morita chile sauce was made using red tomatoes, Morita chiles, tomatillos, onion, garlic, and avocado. The sauce was blended to have a slightly thick texture.
The chef also mentioned that the chicken can be cooked in a wood-fired oven, which takes about two hours, but yields a unique flavor and texture. The finished dish was presented with the chicken, potatoes, and rice, and the chef took a bite, commenting on the juiciness and flavor of the chicken.
