Harissa Honey Glazed Algerian Chicken

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2

Pat the chicken dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure the skin crisps up during roasting.

3

In a small bowl, whisk together the harissa paste, honey, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

4

Rub the marinade generously all over the chicken, making sure to get under the skin of the breast and inside the cavity.

5

Stuff the cavity of the chicken with the two lemon halves.

6

Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast for approximately 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

7

Baste the chicken with the pan juices halfway through the cooking time to keep it moist.

8

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving.

9

Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
