Lemon and Thyme Roast Chicken With an Algerian Twist. image

I have played with many versions of this roast chicken. This is so far the perfect blend. An aromatic twist on a classic roast chicken recipe. Perfect accompanied with cous cous made with a chicken stock and a dash of yummy Harissa or your usual roast potatoes and veg.
