3 lb Chicken
4 Sprigs fresh thyme
2 Garlic cloves, sliced thin
1 c Honey
1 c Dark or regular soy sauce
1 c Lime juice
3 ts Light brown sugar
Salt and pepper
Prepare the grill. Season the inside of the chicken
with salt and pepper. Place the thyme and garlic under
the skin on the breast. Combine the honey, soy, lime
juice, and brown sugar, stirring until the sugar is
thoroughly dissolved. Place the chicken on the spit
and brush with the glaze every few minutes until the
glaze starts to stick to the chicken. Continue to
roast until chicken is done, about 1-1/2 hours. Remove
the chicken from the spit and let rest for l0 minutes
before carving. If a spit is not available, just roast
the chicken in the oven on a rack with a cup of water
in the roasting pan. The chicken juices, marinade and
water will mix to make a wonderful glaze to baste the
chicken with aobut every 5-10 minutes. Roast at 325 F
for 1-1/2 hours.
