Cinnamon Harissa Roast Chicken #FoodRecipesMall

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic pressed
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp sumac
1/4 tsp ground coriander seed
1/4 tsp ground cumin
2 Tbs olive oil
1 Tbs harissa
3.5 lbs chicken or Turkey

Procedures:

1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prep a rack to roast the chicken on and lower the shelf in the oven so the chicken will be sitting right in the middle of the oven.

2.) Mix everything except the chicken in a small bowl until combined. Wash the chicken inside and out and trim any excess skin or fat. Tuck the wing tips under the chicken. Pat dry with paper towels and spread the spice mixture all over the inside and outside of the chicken. I like to separate the skin from the meat near the entrance to inside of the chicken and spread the mixture in between so the breast are nice and flavorful.

3.) Place the bird on the rack and roast until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 170 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a plate and tent with foil for 10 minutes.
