Easy Honey Lime Roast Chicken

A beginners recipe for roast chicken. The glaze gives it a subtle honey & lime flavour. I also do my turkey at christmas like this.

Steps

Preheat your oven to 200c / 400f / gas 6.
Rinse your chicken well , inside and out and dry thoroughly with a paper towel.
Stuff the cavity with the quartered lime , onion and the garlic.
Rub the olive oil all over the chicken and season with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a roasting tin and place in the middle of your preheated oven.
Roasting time depends on size of chicken.
Roast for 20 mins per lb plus an extra 20 minutes for the whole chicken.
Using the juices from the roasting tin , baste the chicken every 30 mins to stop it from drying out.
While the chicken is roasting mix the lime juice , honey and parika in a small bowl.
30 mins before your chicken will be done take it out of the oven and brush with the lime& honey glaze.
Return to the oven to finish roasting , at the end of the roasting time make sure all juices run clear by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the thigh.
