1 tsp salt
3 lbs chicken
3 lemons yield lemon juice
1 tsp garlic, minced

3. Let stand in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more, for a good flavor.
4. Preheat oven to 350° F (175° C).
5. Put the chicken in the roasting pan with lid. Cook, covered, for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is golden brown.
6. Actually, grilling this chicken would be even better. Use charcoal or wood.
7. Note: Huacatay, pronounced wah-kah-tye, also Peruvian black mint, is a herb used in Peruvian cuisine. The fresh leaves are ground into a paste, which is then used to add flavor to recipes. It can be found at Spanish stores.
