Method

step 1

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush the chicken with the peri-peri sauce, add some seasoning, then leave to marinate if you have time. Place half the lime in the cavity. Roast in the oven basting frequently for 1 hr 20 mins or until the chicken is cooked, covering with foil if the skin is getting too dark.
step 2

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 12-15 mins until tender, drain and steam-dry for a few mins in the colander. Tip into a large bowl with the juice from the remaining lime half, the rest of the ingredients and some seasoning. Toss everything together.
step 3

Serve warm or at room temperature with the roast chicken.
