Instructions: In a blender combine all ingredients except lime juice and chicken, and whiz up. Rub the inside and outside of one large roaster with lime juice.

Now slather the body, inside and out, with the garlic/oil/etc mixture.

Place the chicken in a baking pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour. Then, remove the foil and continue baking the chicken until tender (another hour or so, just check for doneness by wiggling your leg, if it wiggles easily, your chicken is done). Baste about 15 minutes with the pan juices. Fgran likes to serve this with Mexican rice and steamed Chayote squash. If you want those recipes, write her, shell be happy to reply.

Daves notes: Try skimming the pan juices of extra oil and serve the juices with the chicken.

This recipe is also wonderful with a pork tenderloin.
