Combine the ingredients for the marinade (harissa spice, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped chilli, and chopped rosemary) and spoon over the chicken. Rub into the chicken and marinate for an hour, keeping any excess marinade aside for basting.

Grill the chicken over medium-hot coals, basting as you go, until tender and cooked through.

Combine flour, yoghurt, salt, and cumin seeds to knead into a smooth dough. Rest before rolling out.

Place the flatbread on the braai grid over medium coals and keep turning with tongs until slightly charred, bubbly, and cooked through.
