Report

We have given the roast chicken a spicy, but simple makeover. This Harissa Roasted Chicken has perfectly crispy skin with a kick of heat.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180°C(fan)/400°F/Gas 6.
In a bowl, mix together 2 tablespoon Harissa, 1 tablespoon Runny honey, 1 tablespoon Olive oil, juice of 0.5 Lemon, 2 Garlic clove and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper.
Place 1.3 kg Whole chicken in a baking dish and pour the mixture onto it, rubbing it in well.
Put the chicken into the oven and cook for around 90 minutes, or until cooked through.

Notes

If harissa isn't your thing, then you can use any kind of spice blend and follow the recipe in the same way. Pesto chicken works really well.
Got lots of leftovers? Make tacos or enchiladas with them.
There is a little bit of spice to this, so if that isn't your thing then use less of it.
You can use chicken breasts or thighs instead of a whole chicken, but cooking times will vary.
