===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Slash the skin of the [[Chicken|chicken]] and place in a bowl with the [[Harissa paste|harissa paste]] and half a tablespoon of [[Olive oil|olive oil]].
| Season and toss the chicken to coat well, then set aside in a cool place for at least 30 minutes, the longer the better.
| Skin and de-seed the [[Butternut squash|butternut squash]], cut into [[Wedges|wedges]] and place in a bowl with the remaining [[Olive oil|olive oil]], the [[Grated|grated]] [[Ginger|ginger]] and the [[Cumin seeds|cumin seeds]].
| Season, mix thoroughly and then place on a [[baking tray]] and cook on the middle shelf of the [[Oven|oven]].
| Place the chicken on the top shelf of the oven. Arrange the pieces on a rack, over a baking tray so they don't sit in fat during cooking.
| Bake for about 40 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and cooked properly.
| Once the [[Squash|squash]] is soft, remove from the [[Oven|oven]] and blend in a [[Food processor|food processor]] or mash until smooth.
}}
Serve with the butternut purée and a sprinkling of [[Parsley|parsley]].
(''Sainsburys magazine'')
===Variations===
Use 6 chicken thighs, skin on - they have better flavour, just pick round the [[bones]].

For a change, add a few small onions, peeled and quartered and some peeled and smashed cloves of garlic to the squash mixture before it is roasted.

I used a Harlequin F1 winter squash which holds slightly more liquid that the butternut squash. I produces a 'runnier' purée. I guess you could thicken it with a few cooked potatoes or even squeeze a little of the water out beforehand, using a sieve.
