Place the chicken on baking tray with breast side up. Pat dry the chicken. In a bowl add olive oil, cinnamon powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, paprika powder, red chilli powder, sumac,  harissa paste, salt, pepper apricots, honey, whisk together. Rub this spice mix all over the chicken, under the breast, behind on it back evenly. Into the same bowl you mixed the spices, add all the vegetables. Add a few drops of olive oil, toss it together and place these vegetables some inside the chicken and some on the outside next to chicken.Preheat oven to 180 degree centigrade. Roast the chicken in oven for about 30 minutes. In between keep brushing melted butter over the chicken, also bast the chicken (the juices and olive oil that flows down into the baking tray pour it back over the chicken). Do this atleast 3 to 4 times in between the roasting time. Using tongs turn the chicken breast side facing down and roast for about 15 minutes. Remember to brush butter and bast the chicken at regular intervals. We want to see the skin turn brown. In a bowl add honey and apricots, coat the apricots well in honey. Next turn back the chicken with breast side facing up using tongs. Pour few tablespoon water and place the honey coated apricots over and inside the chicken. Roast for another 15 minutes. We know the chicken is roasted well when the thermometer inserted into the chicken thighs reads about 180 degree centigrade. Remove from oven and cut the chicken into pieces and serve hot.Serve Moroccan Roast Chicken with Apricots along with Herbed Butter Garlic Quinoa Recipe for a weekday night dinner.
