"Very North African in flavour! Spice mix can be used with fish and a flavouring for rice. You could serve this dish with Couscous, rice, pilaf or even steamed baby potatoes"

lovely. great color and crust on the chicken. i threw a little of the spice mix in my couscous and shallots too. and served with acorn squash roasted with maple syrup. -
I just made this, and the chicken came out with a great depth of flavor. I did make one change though, I didn't have any orange rind, so instead of brushing the chicken breast with olive oil I brushed it with Orange Juice(with pulp) and sprinkled the spice on both sides. The spice stuck well, and I used about a 1 teaspoon of olive oil to lightly fry the chicken. -
What a fantastic recipe!! I used thighs and legs with the skin on - and rubbed a ton of the spices into the chicken and let it marinate for two days. EXCELLENT!!! Broiled the chicken until the spice rub became a browned, caramelized crust ..wonderful! Try it with Moroccan Rice #82603 - you won't believe how good these are together. Thanks Julie!!! --

Wonderful mix of spices. I did leave out the orange rind, but only because I didn't have any oranges around. The chicken tasted great reheated the next day. -
Great zesty flavor! I added a 1/2 white wine to the pan while sauteing the chicken.
