Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
• SPICY! This is a mild spice blend, but use less if you're sensitive to heat. In a small bowl, combine chermoula spice blend, chicken-style stock powder and the water.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook half chicken, skin-side down, until browned, 4-5 minutes each side.
• Transfer chicken to a lined oven tray and spread over chermoula mixture. Turn to coat, then roast until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Set aside to rest.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice onion (see ingredients).
• In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of sugar and salt.
• Scrunch onion in your hands, then add it to pickling liquid with just enough water to cover the onion. Set aside.
• Cut halloumi into 1cm-thick slices.
• Zest lemon to get a good pinch.
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a second small bowl, combine lemon zest, a squeeze of lemon juice, garlic and the honey and set aside.
• Roughly chop tomato and cucumber.
• Pick and roughly chop coriander leaves.
• Drizzle or brush each flatbread with olive oil.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat. Toast flatbreads until golden and warmed through, 1-2 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate.
• Wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook halloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.
• Reduce heat to medium, then add the honey glaze. Cook, turning halloumi halfway through, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Drain pickled onion and return to the bowl, then add tomato, cucumber, coriander and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut spiced chicken in half.
• Divide flatbreads, salsa, chicken and honey-glazed halloumi between plates.
• Serve with garlic dip. Enjoy!
