Ingredients
- 4 lb whole chicken
- 10 clove garlic
- 3 lemon
- 2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 lb russet potatoes
- 2 yellow onions
Method
Crush the whole head of garlic to a paste with a teaspoon of salt. Mix with the juice of two lemons, the cumin, black pepper and the oil.
Cut the chicken into pieces and rub the marinade into every one, under the skin where you can. Leave 30 minutes, or overnight in the fridge if you have it.
Heat the oven to 425F.
Cut the potatoes into wedges and the onions into thick rounds. Toss with any marinade left in the bowl and spread in a roasting pan.
Lay the chicken on top, skin up, so the fat runs down into the vegetables.
Roast 40 to 45 minutes, until the skin is blistered and the juices run clear at the thigh.
Squeeze the last lemon over while everything is still hot.
