Venezuelan guasacaca, a bright, tangy sauce made from avocados, herbs and mild green chilies, is a standard accompaniment to grilled meats and chicken. Here we simply roast bone-in chicken thighs or breasts in a hot oven. The cool, creamy avocado sauce is a perfect contrast to the golden brown, crisp-skinned meat.
