Ingredients:

• 1 whole chicken
• 1 lime (plus extra for slicing)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin

Recipe Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the whole chicken into a roasting pan, ensuring it’s clean and dry.

2. Infuse with Lime: Squeeze the juice of one lime over the chicken, allowing the citrusy flavor to soak into the meat.

3. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the paprika and cumin. Sprinkle this spice mixture generously over the chicken, ensuring it’s evenly coated with the aromatic blend.

4. Enhance with Sliced Lime: Slice the remaining lime and place the slices on top of the chicken, adding extra layers of citrusy goodness.

5. Roasting: Cover the roasting pan with aluminum foil, sealing in the flavors and moisture. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast the chicken for 1 hour.

6. Broiling for Finishing Touches: After the initial roasting time, remove the foil from the pan and turn the oven to broil. Allow the chicken to broil, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

7. Baste for Juiciness: While the chicken is broiling, baste it every few minutes with the juices from the bottom of the pan, ensuring that it stays moist and flavorful throughout the cooking process.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is beautifully golden and cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before carving. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes and enjoy the delicious flavors of this Lime and Cumin Roasted Chicken!

Tips for Success:

• For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in the lime juice and spices for a few hours or overnight before roasting.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder to the spice mixture.
• To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) before serving.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and enjoyed cold or reheated for quick and tasty meals throughout the week.
