2 tsp green pepper berries tsp. grnd cinnamon tsp. grnd cumin tsp. grnd coriander

Preheat oven to gas mark 5 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

After which work in the cinnamon cumin coriander and softened butter.
All this may be prepared in advance but youll need to bring it back to room temperaturebefore using.
About an hour before youre ready to cook the chicken loosen the skin on the breast of the chicken and gently release as far as the legs.
Rub some of the spiced butter into the space between the skin and the flesh then prick the thick part of the legs with a skewer (to allow the butter to penetrate) and rub some more butter into the skin all over the chicken reserving a bit to place in the cavity along with the bayleaves. Sprinkle a little salt into the cavity as well.
Now leave the chicken for an hour at room temperature for the flavours to develop before cooking.
Place the chicken on its side in a small shallow roasting dish and cook on the centre shelf for 1 hour (allowing 20 min) on each side and 20 min with the breast up) or possibly till the chicken is cooked.
Baste well each time the chicken is turned.
Serves 4This is good served with lots of watercress and some lemon wedges to squeeze over with the buttery juices served separately in a jug.
