Petunjuk

1 Heat the oven to 160°C fan/gas 4. Put the stock, tomato purée, harissa, garlic and brown sugar in a bowl. Add salt and pepper and whisk to combine.

2 Put the chicken in a roasting tin and pour over the harissa mix to coat. Cover the tin tightly with foil, then roast for 50 minutes.

3 Turn up the oven to 180°C fan/gas 6. Remove the foil, add the tomatoes and roast for 20 minutes. Add the olives and roast for 10 minutes more or until the chicken is cooked – the juices should run clear when the thigh is pierced in the thickest part with a skewer, or a probe thermometer should read 70-72°C. Rest the chicken for 10 minutes (the core temperature will rise a little as it rests – see Jen’s Kitchen).

4 For the flatbreads, combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, add the yogurt and oil, then mix with your hands to form a smooth, slightly sticky dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes. Return to the bowl, cover and rest for 10 minutes.

5 Put a griddle or non-stick frying pan over high heat. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, shape into balls, then roll out to 15cm discs on a lightly oiled surface. Cook the flatbreads one at a time in the hot pan until puffed and browned, turning and cooking both sides, then keep warm.

6 Mix all the ingredients for the preserved lemon yogurt in a bowl (see Make Ahead).

7 Carve the chicken, then put on warmed plates, scatter with the tomatoes and olives and sprinkle over the chopped herbs. Serve with the flatbreads and the lemon yogurt alongside.

KNOW-HOW

Rose harissa is generally much spicier than the regular harissa paste you find in supermarkets so if you don’t like your food too spicy, use a little less.
