Marinate the Chicken
Place the whole chicken in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Roast the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken breast side up in the prepared roasting pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear when the meat is pierced.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. Serve with additional lime wedges and your favorite side dishes.
