This is a traditional roast chicken dish from Algeria. The sauce is a combination of onions, garlic, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and cayenne pepper. When I have time, I prepare the chicken a few hours ahead of time and let it marinate in the sauce before roasting it in the oven. I usually serve the chicken with cubed roast potatoes. I coat them with the same sauce and cook them in the oven for 1 hour.

A nice change of pace for chicken! Next time I will marinate the chicken ahead of time as suggested for extra flavor. There is quite a bit of cayenne and while this doesn't make the actual meat spicy if you'd like to use the drippings be aware that it will be spicy. Also my chicken was 4lbs and it was done at 1h 15 so for a 2lb chicken as stated in the recipe you'll want to check well before this amount of time. Thanks for the recipe! Read More
