Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 °C (fan if possible).
  2. Crush the garlic with the salt, then mix it with the lime juice and zest, the oil and the thyme.
  3. Make small cuts in the chicken flesh and rub it with this marinade, inside and out.
  4. Leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge, covered.
  5. Place the chicken in an ovenproof dish, surrounded by the onion in quarters and the potatoes cut in half.
  6. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, basting with the cooking juices every 15 minutes, until the meat is no longer pink at the centre (75 °C) and the skin is well browned.

Variations and tips

Spicy version. Add the sliced green chilli to the marinade for a gentle heat.

Using what's available. Replace the limes with half their quantity of lemon juice if needed.
