How to Make Roasted Sephardic Yemenite Chicken With Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and chop potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan.
  4. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon ground coriander, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and ½ teaspoon salt. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken.
  5. Arrange the potatoes around the chicken in the roasting pan.
  6. Roast for 60-65 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the potatoes are tender and slightly browned. Baste the chicken with pan juices halfway through.
  7. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving and serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
