Method

Chicken Preparation

1

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the halved chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, salt, black pepper, and rosemary.

2

Roast the Chicken

Place the chicken halves skin side up on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Fries Preparation

3

Prepare the Fries

While the chicken is roasting, toss the cut potatoes with olive oil, salt, and paprika. Spread them out on a separate baking sheet.

4

Bake the Fries

Place the fries in the oven during the last 30 minutes of the chicken roasting time. Bake until golden and crispy, about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Hummus Preparation

5

Make the Hummus

In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water if needed.
