Makes 4 servings
2 kg family roast chicken
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup harissa paste
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups greek-style natural yoghurt
1 green onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tahini paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons warm water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan forced. Tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Place chicken in a large baking dish.

  3. Remove foil. Bake chicken for a further 45 minutes, brushing occasionally with remaining harissa mixture, or until golden brown and cooked through (juices run clear when tested with a skewer).
  4. Remove chicken from oven and rest for 5 minutes.
  5. Whisk yoghurt, onion, tahini paste, lemon juice, the water and coriander in a bowl. Season with salt.
  6. Serve chicken with tahini yoghurt and lemon wedges.
