Ingredients - 5 pounds whole roasting chicken - 3/4 cup salt, preferably without additives, such as canning or Kosher (optional) - 1 lemon - 1 lime - 3 tablespoons butter The citrusy blend of lemon and lime is an ideal counterpoint to the richness of succulent grill-roasted chicken. Brining is optional, but is well worth the time--it practically guarantees moist flavorful meat. Directions
- If brining the chicken, mix salt with 3 quarts water in a non-reactive pan, bowl, or pail
just large enough to hold the bird snugly. Chicken should be completely covered with brine solution. Make more, if necessary. If the chicken floats, cover with a weighted plate (use canned food, etc. as a weight) to keep it submerged. Refrigerate brining container or place in a cooler with ice, for 4-6 hours.
Remove chicken from brine, rinse and pat dry.
Remove zest (just the colored part, not the bitter white pith underneath) from lemon and lime with a zester, peeler or sharp
