Method

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Rinse chicken under cold water, then pat dry inside and out with a paper towel. Tuck wings under chicken and tie legs together with kitchen string.
2. In a small bowl combine honey, oil, garlic, spices and oregano. Place chicken in an oiled medium roasting pan; rub honey mixture over chicken. Pour the water into the pan, add lemon and season.
3. Roast chicken for 1 hour (covering any parts that are overbrowning with oiled foil) or until juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh.
4. Meanwhile, make spicy fried potatoes. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, add enough cold water to just cover and bring to the boil. Boil for 6 minutes or until almost tender (cooking time will vary depending on the size of the potatoes). Drain; leave to cool and dry completely in a colander.
5. About 15 minutes before chicken is cooked, heat oil in a large frying pan; cook potatoes, spices, garlic and cumin seeds, turning occasionally for 15 minutes or until potatoes are browned. Stir in
lemon zest and parsley; season to taste.
6. Serve honey-roasted chicken with spicy fried potatoes.
