2 tsp salt

1tsp pepper

Instructions:

In a small bowl mix lime zest and spices together.

Pat chicken dry.

Sprinkle 1 tsp. if salt inside cavity of chicken then insert scallions, lemon and thyme.

truss chicken with kitchen twine tying legs & around wings keeping them from hanging loose so they do not burn.

Rub 1tsp all over outside of chicken.

Rub spice mix all over chicken. Place in a dish.

Marinate in refrigerator 1-2 hours or at least a half hour.

After chicken has marinated, prepare chicken for rotissing (if using a rotisserie kit), skewer chicken with rod, insert prongs into meaty ends and lock. Place in oven on rotisserie rack and roast at 350 degrees ( I do not preheat my oven when using rotisserie kit because I don’t want to burn myself.

If Pan roasting place in roasting pan in a preheated 350 degree oven and roast until internal temp is 165 degrees or 1 1/2 hrs until juices run clear.

When done, remove from oven and place on a cutting board covered with foil for about 10-15 min so juices settle in chicken.  Then serve  with rice or potatoes and vegetable.
