Whole Chicken And Chickpea Roast
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

  2. Pour a generous drizzle of oil into a large roasting tin. Add the garlic, red onion, aubergine, chickpeas and lemon slices.

  3. Using a pestle and mortar, lightly crush the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, salt, paprika and turmeric. Sprinkle half the aromatic spice blend over the veggies. Get your hands in and make sure everything is well coated. Put the chicken over the top of the veggies and drizzle with oil, season with salt and sprinkle over the remaining spice blend.

  4. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The chicken is cooked through when the juices run clear with no trace of pink when the thickest part of the leg, between the drumstick and the thigh, is pierced with a skewer.

  5. To serve, sprinkle over the coriander and drizzle over the tahini and chilli oil.
