BEST Moroccan Chicken Recipe By The Mediterranean Dish

Moroccan chicken is essentially stewed or braised chicken with deep, lovely flavors from a special Moroccan spice rub (which I tell you all about in a second), along with aromatics, fresh lemons (or preserved lemons, if you have some), and green olives. And as Moroccans are known to do, we add in some dried fruits to balance things out. I chose a mixture of raisins and dried apricots.

For Spice Rub

1 ½ tbsp all-natural Ras El Hanout

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp sweet paprika

1 tsp ground ginger

½ to 1 tsp black pepper

For Chicken

3 ½ lb/1587.57 g whole chicken cut into bone-in pieces(or 7 to 8 pieces of chicken with bone in. Leave skin on or remove it, up to you.)

Kosher salt

Private Reserve Greek extra virgin olive oil

1 medium yellow on ion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
