Viewed: 32 - Published at: 9 years agoIngredients
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Method
- Combine the lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, black pepper, paprika and oregano in a large resealable plastic bag and shake to combine.
- Add the chicken to the bag and seal tightly.
- Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 375.
- Remove the chicken from the bag (reserving the marinade) and arrange it in a roasting pan, tucking the wings under and trussing the drumsticks, if you like.
- Pour the marinade evenly over the chicken and roast for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, basting occasionally, until the skin is burnished and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 170.
- Tilt the chicken to drain the juices from the cavity into the roasting pan, then transfer the chicken to a platter and let stand for 15 minutes.
- Cut into pieces and serve with the pan juices and lime wedges.
