Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
- After washing chicken, wipe with paper towels and season the chicken and cavity with salt and pepper.
- Using a mortar and pestle, pound the parsley, chervil, chopped onion, butter, cumin, cayenne pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt to a paste.
- Spread the paste carefully over the whole chicken with a spatula.
- Place a skewer through the wings of the chicken to secure them closely to the sides of the bird during cooking.
- Lay the chicken, breast side down, in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minutes until lightly browned.
- Turn the bird over so that the breast is up and roast for another 15-20 minutes.
- Remove chicken from oven and turn down the heat to 350 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, lightly dust the chicken breast with flour.
- Place chicken back in oven.
- Baste with pan juices and continue to roast for about 1 hour or until the chicken is done, and continue basting frequently during cooking time.
- When done, the juices will run clear when you push a skewer through the thickest part of the leg.
- Remove chicken to a cutting board and carve.
- Serve immediately.

[email protected]This chicken is incredibly flavorful and juicy. The marinade is packed with aromatic spices that soak into the meat, and the roasting process creates a crispy skin. I served it with couscous and roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
