Sunday's Roast Chicken with lime and ginger
2 tbsp ginger peel and chopped
4 limes
2 tbsp kosher salt
fresh thyme
2 cup water
1 tbsp flour
2 1/2 tbsp water
1 cup water (or more as need)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven at 500 degrees
Place chicken in a large bowl and cover with water. Add the 2 tablespoon of salt and the juice of 1 lime. Soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse the chicken with cold water inside and out. Pat dry.
Cut another lime and squeeze the juice inside the cavity of the chicken, rub the entire chicken with the lime. Take 1 tablespoon of the ginger and rub the chicken inside and out. Sprinkle the other tablespoon of ginger inside the chicken. Place 1 or 2 lime(s) and a sprig of fresh thyme inside of the chicken. Fold the wing tips under the wings. Push the legs against the body and tie them together using a strip of tin foil or a strong piece of string.
Add two cups of water in a roasting pan. Place the chicken on a rack in the roasting pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and put in preheated oven. Roast for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue to cook for another 90 minutes. The chicken should be golden brown when finished and you can easily move the legs back and forth. Remove from oven. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Carve and serve with Gravy, Macaroni and cheese and sauteed cabbage and carrots.
GRAVY
Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over medium heat. Combine the flour and 2 1/2 tablespoons cold water and stir into the pan. Add 1 cup of water or more as needed. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until smooth. Remove from heat, add salt and pepper to taste.
