Roasted Harissa Chicken

This recipe is from Jamie Oliver “5 ingredients” cookbook. I did a few twists to add my own touches to Jamie’s original “Harissa Chicken Traybake”. https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/chicken-recipes/harissa-chicken-traybake/

The ingredients:

  • 2 kg free-range whole chicken
  • 2 medium-size red onions
  • 1 of each green, red and yellow peppers
  • 2 tablespoons homemade harissa
  • Mint for garnishing

Preparation method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180oC
  2. Dust an oven bag with some flour. Using kitchen scissor make a tiny hole on the bag
  3. Massage harissa paste on the chicken covering all sides then put it inside the prepared oven bag
  4. Roast in the preheated oven for around an hour
  5. Cut the onions and the peppers into chunks and remove the peppers’ seeds
  6. Line the roasting tray with baking paper. Place the veggies in it
  7. Season with salt, pepper and a splash of white wine vinegar then toss well
  8. Open the oven bag and pour the liquid content over the veggies and place the chicken on top
  9. Return to oven till veggies are cooked
  10. Garnish with fresh mint
