Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Spatchcock the chicken by removing the backbone with kitchen shears and flattening the bird. Rub the chicken all over with olive oil, zaatar spice mix, salt, and pepper.

2. Prepare the Potatoes

In a bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes with olive oil, harissa paste, salt, and pepper. Place them in a grill basket.

3. Grill the Chicken and Potatoes

Place the chicken skin-side up on the grill. Add the potato basket to the grill. Cook for about 45-50 minutes, turning the potatoes occasionally, until both the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.

4. Prepare the Vinaigrette

While the chicken and potatoes are grilling, whisk together diced preserved lemon, chopped scallions, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.

5. Glaze the Carrots

In a pan, combine honey, ground coriander, and carrots. Cook on medium heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are glazed and tender.

6. Finish and Serve

Remove the chicken and potatoes from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before carving. Drizzle with pomegranate molasses and serve with the glazed carrots and preserved lemon vinaigrette.
