DH and I made this and thought it had great flavor, despite the fact we overcooked ours. So, be careful in Step 10….the original recipe says to cook about an hour until the instant-read thermometer registers 130F. After an hour, ours was way too well-done. DH suggests you check the meat with your thermometer at least every 15-20 minutes. Also, prep and cook time do not include time it takes to roast the red bell pepper. Finally, you will need kitchen string. From the Williams-Sonoma “Steak and Chop” book.

I have played with many versions of this roast chicken. This is so far the perfect blend. An aromatic twist on a classic roast chicken recipe. Perfect accompanied with cous cous made with a chicken stock and a dash of yummy Harissa or your usual roast potatoes and veg.
This recipe comes from Farid Zari, who adapted his traditional way of spit roasting chicken to roasting it in his Los Angeles oven. He advises that the spices are a matter of personal taste–use what you like. He says the method does approximate the really crispy skin that he remembers from Algeria, but stresses that the quality of the chicken makes a huge difference, saying that at home in Algeria all the chickens were organic, free range and very fresh, and suggests that a soak in a salt water bath overnight would improve a run-of-the-mill supermarket chicken. Interestingly this cooking method follows the basic French method for roasting a bird — and, after all, there is some cross-cultural history there.
