3. Roast in the oven for 1h30 minutes. Baste with marinade throughout.
4. Parboil the potatoes in salted water until soft when pierced with a fork. Drain and leave to cool slightly. Scrape the sides of the potatoes with a fork. Place in an oven tray and coat with olive oil and the Hunters® Biltong Spice. Roast with the chicken for 45 minutes until golden and crunchy.
