Method

Preheat the oven to gas 5, 200°C, fan 180°C. Mix 2 tbsp harissa paste, the vinegar and oil together in the bottom of a large roasting tin; season with black pepper. Rub the chicken all over with the marinade.
Add the onions, tomatoes on the vine, potatoes and lemon wedges to the tin around the chicken, turning in the marinade.
Roast the chicken for 1 hr, basting a couple of times. Add the courgettes to the tin, tossing in the juices, then roast for another 18 mins. Brush the final 1 tbsp harissa over the chicken skin and return to the oven for 2 mins or until the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the leg, and the veg is golden.
Leave the chicken to rest for at least 20 mins, then squeeze over the roasted lemon wedges. Scatter over the mint leaves and lemon zest before carving.
