What cooking means for you? For me cooking is mostly about combining taste, smell and visual presentation. Definitely I have my own preferences, habits and such that influence what I’m cooking and in what way I’m doing it.

This time I wanted some really original taste. I've heard recently that fresh thyme combined with lemons or limes give meat very original aroma and taste, so I just wanted to try that concept cooking whole chicken. I must tell you it was absolutely delightful.

Just do it!

Ingredients

• whole chicken (better organic one);
• 1-2 lemons or limes (preferred);
• 5-7 garlic cloves sliced;
• 2 fresh sprigs of thyme torn (may add a little rosemary and sage);
• garlic powder;
• salt and pepper(s).

Instructions

Season chicken generously with pepper, salt and garlic powder. Slice limes (lemons) and garlic. Tear and cut thyme sprigs. Put limes, garlic and thyme into the chicken. After that put chicken into the oven preheated to 180°C. The bird must be done in 1-1/2 hours (40 minutes for each kilo approx.)

Serve while hot.

Bon Appetit!
