Chilli-and-Citrus–Rubbed Chicken with Potatoes

This vibrant chilli-and-citrus–rubbed chicken with potatoes is a sophisticated take on the classic Sunday roast. The skin is infused with a fragrant blend of crushed coriander, fennel seeds, and smoked paprika, balanced by the bright, zesty notes of fresh orange and lemon. By roasting the bird over a base of white wine and chicken stock, you create a built-in sauce that is rich in savoury flavour and perfect for dressing the accompaniments.

As a high-protein main course, this dish is both nourishing and deeply satisfying. Stretching beyond a simple traybake, the method ensures the chicken stays incredibly juicy while the potatoes are finished separately in the roasting juices for maximum impact. It is an ideal choice for a weekend family lunch or a relaxed dinner party where you want to serve something impressive yet wholesome.

  • Sal kosher

  • 1 cucharada de semillas de cilantro

  • 1 cucharada de semillas de hinojo

  • Zest of 1 small orange

  • Zest of 1 medium lemon

  • 60ml de aceite de oliva virgen extra

  • 1 tablespoon mild red pepper flakes (such as Aleppo-style, Maras, or Urfa)

  • 1 cucharada de pimentón ahumado

  • 180ml low-sodium chicken broth or water

  • 120ml de vino blanco seco

  • 1 cucharada de pasta de tomate

  • 4 dientes de ajo, triturados

  • 900g medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley

Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season generously inside and out with salt. Tie legs together with kitchen twine. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and let sit 1 hour at room temperature.

Preheat oven to 218°C. Coarsely grind coriander and fennel seeds in spice mill or with mortar and pestle. Transfer to a small bowl and add orange zest, lemon zest, oil, red pepper flakes, and paprika; mix well. Pat chicken dry with paper towels, then rub all over with spiced oil.

Whisk broth, wine, and tomato paste in a cast-iron skillet or 3-qt. enameled cast-iron baking dish to combine. Place chicken in the centre and scatter garlic cloves around. Roast chicken, turning pan halfway through and adding an additional 60ml water if pan looks dry, until chicken is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast registers 68°C, 50–60 minutes (temperature will climb to 71°C as chicken rests). Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, strain liquid left in pan through a fine-mesh sieve into a heatproof measuring glass or small bowl; discard anything in sieve. Taste; season sauce with salt if needed. Set aside.

Place potatoes in a large pot and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Add a large handful of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are fork-tender, 25–30 minutes. Drain and transfer potatoes back to pot.

Cut potatoes into large pieces (or, if you can handle the heat, break up with your hands). Pour reserved sauce over potatoes. Add parsley, season with salt, and gently toss to combine.

Place chicken on a platter and serve potatoes alongside.
