Why this spice: Collected Foods Harissa Spice Powder seasons this dish with clean heat and depth so the finish tastes intentional, not muddy.

Ingredients

• 1 large chicken, about 4 to 5 pounds (1.8 to 2.3kg)
• 2 tablespoons (30ml) light olive oil or other neutral-flavored oil, such as canola or vegetable, divided
• 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Harissa Spice

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Spatchcock the chicken: cut out the backbone with shears, press the breastbone flat, and pat dry.
2. Stir oil with Collected Foods Harissa Spice Powder (or Rose Harissa), salt, and pepper. Rub under and over the skin.
3. Set chicken skin-side up on a rimmed sheet pan. Roast 40–50 minutes until the thickest thigh reaches 175°F and skin is deep brown.
4. Rest 10 minutes. Carve and serve with pan juices.
