Assemble the Roast:

Roast the Chicken and Potatoes:

  3. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 50-60 minutes to an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Experiment with different Arabic 7 spice blends for varied tastes.
