1. Preheat oven to 100°C. Season chicken generously with salt inside and out. Place head of garlic inside cavity; tie legs together if desired. Let it sit at least for 5 minutes and chill.

3. Place chicken on top, nestling into vegetables. Cover and place in the oven.
4. Bake for 2 hours then uncover and let rest for 30 minutes.
5. Heat oil, sliced garlic and red pepper flakes in a Chef Supreme Casserole over medium heat until garlic is lightly browned. Once browned let cool. Stir in lime juice and season dressing with salt.
