Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken
• 1 lime, zest and juice
• 1 cup beer (preferably ale or lager)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

1. In a bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, beer, minced garlic, paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
2. Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Close the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for the best flavor.
3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for basting later. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
5. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or roasting pan over medium-high heat. Place the chicken in the skillet, breast-side down, and sear for 5 minutes or until browned.
6. Carefully flip the chicken using tongs or oven mitts, so it is breast-side up. Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken.
7. Transfer the skillet or roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
8. While the chicken is roasting, baste it with the marinade every 15-20 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.
9. Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving.
10. Serve the beer roasted lime chicken hot and enjoy!
