• Salt

1. 1.

   Soak a Roman pot in water. Wash and pat dry the whole chicken. Using a slightly rounded knife, slide under the skin from the openings and lift it gently. Insert leaves and small twigs of the various herbs into these spaces. Rub the chicken inside and out with salt, pepper, rosy paprika, and chili powder.

   Wash the bell peppers, halve them, remove seeds, and cut into pieces. Slice the zucchini. Peel the shallots. Place the chicken with the prepared vegetables, crushed tomatoes, and remaining thyme in the Roman pot. Drizzle olive oil over it. Close the pot, place it in the oven, and bake at 200°C for 50 minutes until cooked through.
