This was the first recipe my mom taught me - mostly so I could get it started before she would get home from work. It's so easy and yum! I always serve with plain white rice - the juice is great on it - and steamed broccoli. Ingredients:
6 -8 lbs whole chickens (any size would work though) |
1 -2 lime |
1 1/2 tablespoons dried basil (more or less to taste) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Squeeze juice of halved lime(s) all over chicken.
3. Sprinkle liberally inside and out with basil.
4. Put 1 or 2 lime halves into cavity.
5. Cook approximately 30 minutes per pound, or until done.
6. Spoon juice over.
