Lemon
chicken with cumin and roasted potatoes
We love flavoring roasted chicken with lemon, but the addition
of cumin seeds and a touch of red pepper flakes sparks up
the taste even more. The chicken is butterflied--cut down
the backbone, then split and flattened so it cooks evenly
until moist, crisp and golden.
Preparation time: 15 minutes plus marinating
Baking time: 1 hour 15 minutes
