1 roasting chicken, giblets removed1 Lemon, sliced2 cloves garlic, minced2 pieced candied ginger, minced1 hot pepper, diced1 tsp Chipolte sauce.5 tsp Habenero sauce (these are easily changed for less heat)1.5 tsp honey1 tsp Worchestershire sauce1 tsp Sunflower oildash of onion powder
Makes about 5 servings. Will depend on the size of your bird.
Mix everything but the lemon and the chicken together in a small bowl.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Gently side your hand under the chickens skin, up the breast and down the legs and thighs. Try not to tear it!
With a spoon (you do NOT want to touch the sauce with your fingers) place the sauce under the skin and use the spoon and/or your fingers on TOP of skin to smoosh it around.
Gently slide the lemon slices under the skin and on top of the sauce. One slice per quadrant of bird is usually good. Put the remaining lemon bits inside the birds cavity.
Using toothpicks, suture the skin together and pin the chickens ankles together. Shove those wings tips back under the chicken for a nice presentation.
Salt and pepper the outside of the bird. Put it in the oven and immediately turn the temp down to 350 and cook 20 minutes per pound.
