Great fresh citrus tasting chicken. I did enhance the seasonings quite a bit because we like robust intense flavors in our food. I added cumin powder, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and blackened seasoning and made a dry rub and rubbed on the outside and inside cavity of the chicken. I also added some in between the chicken skin and the meat. I cut the lime in eights and put some limes in between the skin and also added some sliced onions and chili peppers. We used a dark ale and grilled the chicken on indirect heat (thanks to another reviewer for this tip). The chicken was full of flavor and very good. YUM!

This chicken is AMAZING !!! I actually took the spice/herb blend from the simple whole roasted chicken recipe on allrecipes and then used the lime, beer and water from this recipe. SO juicy and tasty...definitely the BEST roast chicken. The lime really makes the difference !!

I have tried many variations of this recipe and it is outstanding, try substituting the beer for grape soda pop, very tasty!

This chicken was good, but not terribly flavorful. I rubbed the chicken inside and out with a paste of crushed garlic, fresh lime juice, salt and pepper. It had to cook much longer than and hour and a half - in fact, closer to 3 and a half hours. BUT - I will probably make it again because it was fairly easy and tasted just as good as a rotisserie chicken bought from the supermarket.

This was DELICIOUS! I used 1 1/2 limes, 1/2 tablespoon salt, a tablespoon rosemary, and added some fresh garlic inside. It turned out so good!

OMG this was the most moist chicken I ever had. Cooked on the grill instead of the oven.

Easy to do. I had 2 chickens to cook. I used soda cans & put water & seasonings in them. How come no one said how silly these naked chickens look sitting up in the pan? lol A great recipe if you need a good laugh.

This is a very simple, very flavorful recipe. The uncomplicated list of ingredients really allows the flavor of the chicken to be the focal point of the dish. The only change I occasionally make to the original recipe is the addition of 2-3 cloves of garlic to the beer before cooking. This allows a hint of garlic flavor to steam up through the meat during the roasting process.
