Peruvian-Style Roasted Chicken with Sweet Onions

Peruvian Roasted Chicken

I know that chicken can get boring sometimes, but there is nothing boring about this dish, which I discovered on Whole Foods Market website.  It has so much flavor and the seasoned paste keeps the chicken perfectly moist.  This is one of my new favorite ways to roast chicken!
