Baked chicken with garlic

Ingredients:

• 1 roasting chicken, halved (1.4 kg)
• 2 cups of quartered onions
• 10 cloves of garlic, crushed with 1 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons of table vinegar
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• Flour for breading
• Olive oil for frying

Preparation:

1. Place the onion, half of the garlic and salt mixture, wine, olive oil, and vinegar in a blender. Blend thoroughly. Pour the marinade over the chicken and refrigerate, covered, for 2-4 hours. Drain the marinade and pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
2. Preheat oven to 190°C.
   
   Rub the remaining garlic-salt mixture into both sides of the chicken halves. It's best if you can get some of the mixture under the skin without tearing it. Sprinkle the chicken with lime juice on both sides, then season with black pepper and cumin. Lightly dust the chicken with flour and quickly sear both sides in a skillet with olive oil.
3. Place the chicken halves skin-side up in a baking dish. Bake for 30-45 minutes, until the juices run clear. Use a meat thermometer if needed, or take advantage of the opportunity if your significant other gave you one for Christmas.
