Equipment

  • Cast Iron Dutch Oven or a Roasting Pan with rack.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • 1 Stick Butter or Margarine (room temperature) You can use olive oil if you prefer, but I use plant butter made from olive oil.
  • 2 Whole Limes Cut in half
  • 4 Fresh Garlic Cloves Peeled
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place the limes and the garlic inside the chicken cavity
  • Rub the butter or olive oil all over the skin of the chicken
  • Sprinkle with a generous amount of salt and pepper all over
  • Place chicken directly in the bottom of a cast iron dutch oven, or on a rack inside a roasting pan.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for approximately three hours at 300 degrees. Low and Slow
  • If baking in a roasting pan on a rack, be sure to baste the chicken every thirty minutes so that it does not dry out.
