What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1 Whole Chicken
  • 3 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/8 cup Teriyaki

  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Lime, Juiced
  • 11/2 Inch Piece of Ginger, Chopped
Directions
  1. Cut the butter into six pieces and place it under the skin of the chicken.
  2. In a baking dish mix up the soy, teriyaki, worcestershire, sugar, garlic, lime and ginger.
  3. Stuff the lime halves into the cavity of the bird and cover it with the delicious soy mixture.
  4. Cover the bird and place it into an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 1 hour
  5. After the hour is up, remove the cover, baste the bird and then turn the temperature up to 375 degrees. Cook it for an additional 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees.
  6. If the top is getting to dark , you can place a piece of aluminum foil lightly over the top (don't seal it, just lay it over the top).

Amazing. I always stuff my chickens with some kind of fruit no matter what I do to the outside. Oranges, apples, canned pineapple, peaches, fruit cocktail, whatever I have on hand, but the juicer the fruit the moister the chicken and putting the butter under the skin makes for such a tender breast.
