Roasted Chicken with Fresh Lime Mojo


1 medium roasting chicken
2 limes
6 cloves garlic, chopped fine
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped fine
Olive oil
Salt

Place the zest of both limes, the juice of both limes, a generous pinch of salt, and 3 or 4 glugs of olive oil in a bowl, mix well. Loosen the skin from the chicken, and smoosh the mojo under the skin. Repeat on both breast and underside of the chicken. Roast chicken breast down for maximum juiciness. Roast at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then turn down to 350 degrees for an hour and a half (or longer depending on size of bird).
