I tried a version of this chicken after watching a Robin Miller episode. She made this with olives in the mix and did not let it marinate. We didn't care for the olives with this, and I prefer to let it marinate. The leftover chicken is great in Recipe #226933.

PERUVIAN ROAST CHICKEN WITH GARLIC AND LIME
Steps:
- 1. Process all ingredients except chicken in blender until smooth paste forms, 10 to 20 seconds. Using fingers or handle of wooden spoon, carefully loosen skin over thighs and breast and remove any excess fat. Rub half of paste beneath skin of chicken. Spread entire exterior surface of chicken with remaining paste. Tuck wingtips underneath chicken. Place chicken in gallon-size zipper-lock bag and refrigerate at least 6 hours and up to 24 hours. 2. Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Place vertical roaster on rimmed baking sheet. Slide chicken onto vertical roaster so chicken stands upright and breast is perpendicular to bottom of pan. Roast until skin just begins to turn golden and instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast registers 140 degrees, 45 to 55 minutes. Carefully remove chicken and pan from oven and increase oven temperature to 500 degrees. 3. When oven is heated to 500 degrees, place 1 cup water in bottom of pan and return pan to oven. Roast until entire skin is browned and crisp and instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees inserted in thickest part of breast and 175 degrees in thickest part of thigh, about 20 minutes (replenish water as necessary to keep pan from smoking), rotating bird 180 degrees halfway through cooking. 4. Carefully remove chicken from oven and let rest, still on vertical roaster, 20 minutes. Using kitchen towel, carefully lift chicken off vertical roaster and onto platter or cutting board. Carve chicken and serve, passing Spicy Mayonnaise separately.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon juice. Rub garlic mixture over chicken. Place chicken in a medium skillet. Combine 1 tablespoon juice, chicken broth, and vinegar; pour over the chicken. Place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Wrap handle of pan with foil. Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 180°. Remove chicken from pan; keep warm. Place pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 3 minutes). Spoon over chicken. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh lime juice and garlic will give your chicken the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as good.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. If you overcook it, it will be dry and tough.
- Serve the chicken immediately: Lime garlic chicken is best when it is served hot off the grill or out of the oven. If you let it sit for too long, the chicken will dry out and the flavors will fade.
- Garnish the chicken with fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro or parsley will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Lime garlic chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, potatoes, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Lime garlic chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, lime garlic chicken is a great option.
