Agave Lime Chicken

Ingredients:

1 whole chicken (2-3 pounds)
1-3 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup agave nectar
1 tablespoon Celtic sea salt
3 limes
2 onions
1 head garlic
dash cumin
dash chili powder

Directions:


Rinse the chicken and pat dry
Place chicken in a 9x13 inch Pyrex baking dish breast side down
Drizzle with olive oil and agave, then sprinkle with salt, cumin and chili powder
Stuff one lime into the cavity of the bird
Cut the other 2 limes and place in the pan
Cut the onions in half and place in the pan (I left the skin on)
Leaving the skin on the garlic, break the head apart and scatter the cloves around the pan
Bake at 350° for 45+ minutes until the skin starts to brown
Remove chicken from oven and raise heat to 450°
Turn the chicken over so that breast side is now up
Bake for an additional 15 to 25 minutes or until thigh temperature (taken with an instant read meat thermometer) is 170°-180°
Remove chicken from oven
Carve chicken and drizzle with pan juices before serving

Serves 4
