Harissa chicken with roasted potatoes and plums
This was very delicious and i was just experimenting with flavours here
The sauce was so good with sweetness and tartness of plums and spice from the harissa , we had dinner rolls with it but can be great with rice
I made it easy , one pan meal ,was a busy day at work ,so got home late ,so u can see the lighting in my pic isn’t great as it was later than usual we had dinner
Harissa as you probably know is a North African chilli spice
I used harissa mix with some of other spices and the flavour was just amazing,i even ate a piece of white meat ,it was that flavourful😊
I didnt have time to marinate for long so before and after putting the spices on chicken i poked it a lot with fork to get the flavour in
1 chicken i removed the spine to make it easy like spatchcock
4-5 plums sliced into quarters
Baby potatoes 2 cups
For the marinade:
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp harissa spice mix
1/2 tsp red chilli flakes,skip if you font want spicy or u have spicy harissa mix
11/4 tsp salt
Fresh parsley 1/2 cup chopped finely
Rosemary 1 tsp
Garlic 6 finely chopped
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp black pepper
Dried parsley 1/2 tsp
Juice of 1 lemon
Mix this all to make a paste and then get that all over chicken and under the skin
Let sit if u can for an hour
Heat oven to 425F
Put chicken in sheetpan and place in oven
Put the potatoes in the pan with marinade so they absorb some flavour
Cook chicken 20 minutes
Then reduce heat to 375 add the potatoes and cook another 25 minutes covered this time
Add plums and again increase temp to 400 and cook 10-15 minutes uncovered till nice colour and potatoes and chicken are done
You can cover if browning too quickly and chicken not done
Serve with rice or bread
😋😋😋😋
