Instructions
In a bowl, mix together the harissa, honey, oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper.
Place the chicken in a baking dish and pour the mixture on to it, rubbing it in well.
Put the chicken in a preheated oven at 200C and cook until the Thermapen registers the chicken at 74C (around an hour and 30 minutes).
Serve with some Flatbreads, tzatziki and sprinkle some fresh chopped mint over the chicken.

Notes
If harissa isn't your thing, then you can use any kind of spice blend and follow the recipe in the same way. Pesto chicken works really well.
Got lots of leftovers? Make tacos or enchiladas with them.
There is a little bit of spice to this, so if that isn't your thing then use less of it.
You can use chicken breasts or thighs instead of a whole chicken, but cooking times will vary.
