Citrus Roast Chicken




Ingredients
2 limes, cut into quarters
4-6 whole garlic cloves
large handful of thyme leaves
2kg free-range chicken
juice of 1 lemon
salt and fresh ground black pepper
3 tbsp Olive oil


Set the oven to gas 6. Push the lime quarters, whole garlic cloves and thyme into the cavity of the chicken.

Place the chicken into a roasting pan and drizzle the lemon juice over. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 2 hours.


Lovely fresh tasting chicken, which I served with couscous and a tomato salad.

Yum, that looks and sounds so tasty. I bet a little sumac over the skin would really add to the final flavour.
