Grilled Chicken with Lemon & Thyme

Ingredients

• 1 large chicken - دجاج
• 3 tablespoon olive oil - زيت زيتون
• 1 large onion (the juice of the onion only) - بصلة
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard - مسطردة ديجون
• 1 tablespoon thyme -dried - زعتر
• 3 large lime (juice of 3 limes) - ليمون بلدي
• 1 tablespoon vinegar - خل
• 1 tablespoon honey - عسل
• 1/2 teaspoon salt - ملح
• 1/4 tsp teaspoon black pepper freshly crushed - فلفل أسود
• 3 large garlic cloves crushed - فصوص ثوم

Step by step

1. In bowl or bag, mix all the marinade ingredients together.
2. Rub the chicken inside out with the marinade, cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours, and for best results, overnight.
3. If you choose to use a vertical roaster, place the chicken on the roaster and put a little water in the tray underneath so the juices that fall out during the roasting process don’t burn.
4. Pop in a 180C preheated oven for around an hour to 75 minutes (depending on the size of the chicken.) Or just grill on your regular grill. Make sure not to over grill, you need a nice brown color from outside and white juicy meat inside.
5. Check on the chicken 2-3 times during the grilling time and spoon some of the chicken juices over the chicken.
6. Serve the chicken gravy that is collected in the tray underneath the roaster in a separate bowl to give people the choice to either add some, or just enjoy a tasty chicken without the extra fat.
