  This sounds lovely. Could this recipe be Quorn-ified for us veggies? :)

  A little fussy to prep the glaze and stuff the chicken although completely worth it as absolutely delicious and goes great with the bean sprouts and noodles featured in the same April issue.

  Superb!! A bit more work than your Foolproof Slow Roast Chicken but my family has now asked for this to be our regular roast chicken recipe. The chicken was astoundingly moist! The sauce with the chicken juices added was very sour so I had to add quite a bit of extra brown sugar to counteract the excessive "limey" flavour but it went down a treat. I served it with Honey glazed roast carrots (a GF recipe - excellent!) and some pak choi.

  The chicken in the photo looks over-cooked and dry to me...

  The zingy sweet lime sauce was a wonderful refreshing flavour - a wonderful change to the usual sunday roast - everyone loved it

  I used only two limes and this was gorgeous! The chicken was moist (due to the water - I added about 300ml and basted regularly), the glaze was not overpowering, and I didn't need to reduce the sauce and it was quite tangy. Served with carribean rice and peas and went down a storm!

  Really lovely - served with the pineapple rice and the greens with oyster sauce in the same article. Barney's recipes are so reliable!! :)

  KJF_UK (see above) - I cooked this for Easter Sunday and added some of the unreduced sauce to Quorn pieces for the vegetarians in the family: I used soy sauce instead of fish sauce. Chicken was moist, though the sweet glaze makes it look overcooked. Now to go and make something with the leftovers.

  This recipe was good. The flavours of the sauce were great, however, I felt the flavours of the glaze didn't go into the chicken other than on the skin. Next time I make this, I will make more glaze and marinate the chicken rubbing the glaze both under and on top of the skin. I also made with the pineapple rice which was delicious.

  Only used 2 limes and found it deliciously tangy. Loved the ginger, chilli, garlic, coriander and lime "stuffing" which I put inside the chicken about 6 hours before cooking so the flavours were infused through the bird. Lovely.

  Made this as didn't have lemons or potatoes for our usual preferred roast chicken recipe. It was delicious. Only had 3 limes and used dark brown sugar as all we had. Served with cucumbers, spring onions, tomatoes and coriander with a wee bit of lime juice squeezed over and some Tilda wholegrain pilau. Husband said he'd like our roast chicken like that every time. Looking forward to the rest of it tomorrow night and the stock!
