Ingredients
6 lb. whole chicken roaster
1 lb. assorted fingerling potatoes, halved
2 oranges
2 limes
1 lemon
2 tsp garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Cooking Tools
Roasting pan
Mixing bowl

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F.  Slice the oranges, lime and lemon in halves and and juice into a mixing bowl. Place the juiced citrus halves and line the baking pan.
Whisk in oil, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper into the mixing bowl with the citrus juice, set aside.  Prep the chicken by cutting the back bone out of the chicken, so you can lay it flat.  Place the chicken, breast side up on the layer of citrus halves.  The citrus halves acts like a platform for the chicken to lay on, so it bakes and not boils in the marinade.  Place fingerling potatoes around the chicken and pour the the citrus marinade over the chicken and potatoes evenly.  Let stand for 15 minutes before placing in oven.  Bake for 1 1/2 hours or until juices run clear.  Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before carving.  Use the pan juices as the sauce for the chicken.
