Honey-Lime Roasted Chicken

By Totlxtc

Ingredients

• 1 * 1 whole roasting chicken (5 to 6 pounds)
• 1/2 * 1/2 cup lime juice
• 1/4 * 1/4 cup honey
• 1 * 1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard or spicy brown mustard
• 1 * 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Preparation

Step 1

* Carefully loosen the skin from the entire chicken. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, honey, mustard and cumin. Using a turkey baster, baste under the chicken skin with 1/3 cup lime juice mixture. Tie drumsticks together. Pour remaining lime juice mixture over chicken.
* Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180°, basting every 30 minutes with drippings (cover loosely with foil after 1 to 1-1/2 hours or when golden brown). Let stand for 10 minutes before carving. Remove and discard skin before serving. Yield: 10 servings.
