Method

1.Preheat oven to 220°C. Combine spices, lemon zest and sea salt in a small bowl, rubbing to combine, then season chicken pieces generously with the mixture.
2.Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat, add chicken skin-side down and turn occasionally until browned (4-5 minutes). Transfer to the oven and roast until cooked through (10-15 minutes).
3.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a large saucepan, add carrot, fennel, onion, garlic and saffron, and stir occasionally until onion begins to soften (4-5 minutes).
4.Add tomatoes, stock and wine, bring to the simmer and cook until carrot is tender and liquid reduces by half (12-15 minutes).
5.Add drained chickpeas, herbs, preserved lemon rind and lemon juice, season to taste and serve hot over spiced roast chicken. Scatter over fennel fronds and extra herbs, to garnish.
