Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------- --------------------------------
1 chicken - (3 to 4 lbs)
12 garlic cloves --chopped, divided
2 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 tablespoon cumin
3/4 cup lime juice --divided
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup cooking sherry
1 1/4 cups olive oil --divided
1 white onion --finely diced
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 bunch parsley --chopped

Freshly-ground black pepper --to taste

Cut chicken by the backbone and remove the backbone, keeping the rest of
the chicken in one piece. Place the chicken in a sealable plastic bag
or a baking dish large enough to hold the chicken.

In a blender, combine 1/2 the garlic, oregano, cumin, 1/2 cup of the
lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, sherry and 1/4 cup of the olive oil.
Puree until smooth. Pour over the chicken and make sure the chicken in
entirely coated. Marinate, refrigerated, overnight.

Preheat a grill. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grill the chicken over medium heat, using something heavy to weigh the
chicken down, for 5 minutes per side. Place in an ovenproof dish or
saute pan and finish cooking in the oven for 12 minutes.

In a small saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil. Add the remaining
garlic and onions, and cook until fragrant. Let cool and add the
remaining lime juice, orange juice, and parsley. Adjust seasonings and
serve with the grilled chicken.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
