  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons Arabic 7 Spices
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
    • For the Roast:
  • 300 grams baby potatoes
    • For The Arabic 7 Spices:
  • 1 tablespoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 tablespoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
Instructions
    Prepare the Marinade:
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, pepper, Arabic 7 spices, dried oregano, and dried parsley until well combined.
    3. Marinate the Chicken:
  4. Place the chicken pieces in the bowl with the marinade and coat them evenly.
  5. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours, or overnight for best flavor.
    6. Prepare the Potatoes:
  7. While the chicken is marinating, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  8. Wash the baby potatoes and pat them dry.
    9. Assemble the Roast:
  10. Take a large baking dish and spread the baby potatoes evenly on the bottom.
  11. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on top of the potatoes.
    12. Roast the Chicken and Potatoes:
  14. 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.
  15. Basting the chicken with the pan juices halfway through cooking can help to keep the skin crispy.
    16. Serve:
  17. Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  18. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and chopped parsley.
    19. Arabic 7 Spices Mix:
  20. Combine all spices in a small bowl.
  21. Mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.
  22. Store in an airtight container.
Note

For extra crispy skin, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before marinating.
You can add other vegetables to the baking dish, such as carrots, onions, or bell peppers, for a more complete meal.

If you prefer a spicier chicken, increase the amount of Arabic 7 spices or add other chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marinade.

For a golden brown top, broil for 10 minutes after roasting.
If browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
Experiment with different Arabic 7 spice blends for varied tastes.
Add carrots, onions, or peppers for a complete meal.
Adjust quantities based on preference and dish.
