Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Preheat oven to 450°F.
Step #2 Remove neck & giblets from inside of chicken.
Step #3 Rinse throughly, inside & out, then pat dry.
Step #4 Stuff chicken with limes, onion & herbs, as much as will fit without packing too tightly.
Step #5 Coat skin of chicken with olive oil, brushing or misting over whole surface.
Step #6 This makes the skin nice & golden crisp.
Step #7 Sprinkle top salt & freshly ground black pepper over skin to taste.
Step #8 Rub it in for great flavor.
Step #9 Place chicken in a roasting pan or casserole.
Step #10 Use a roasting rack if you have one.
Step #11 Spread any remaining stuffing around the chicken in the pan & fill with one c water.
Step #12 Bake chiken 15- 20 mins per lb, basting if necessary (it shouldn't be.
Step #13 ) Remove from oven & let 'rest' for an extra 15 mins before carving.
Step #14 Optional: This is a busy weeknight favorite for me & I often make it at the last min.
Step #15 If you are better at planning ahead, you can marinate the chicken for a more intense lime taste.
Step #16 Use lime juice, grated peel (no white attached) of 1 lime, ground coriander (or whole seeds, olive oil, garlic cloves, dry mustard, freshly ground black pepper, scallions, salt, if you can find it in an ethnic market) & marinate for 6 - 12 hrs in the fridge.
