Rub the chicken with some oil all over. Then peel away the skin from the ends and get your hands under its skin with a bit of oil. Next rub the entire Chicken with the spice mix, coating evenly the entire surface of the bird, and then getting under the skin, as well as in the slits as well. The more time you spend doing this the better the flavor is going to be. Next squeeze the lime juice all over and rub it in evenly.

Serving suggestion: Wrap it in a fire-roasted Tortilla, some lettuce and some lime juice with the pickled veggies, and you have yourself a delicious little wrap that tastes amazing and so fresh.
