If there’s one thing blogging has taught me is to be open when it comes to trying different cuisines because many times when I think a recipe is just too weird, I always end up pleasantly surprised. For many years now I’ve been cooking recipes from all over the world but I haven’t made too many African dishes. Until now. This chicken dish is paired together with plump golden raisins, dates and Indian spices resulting in one delicious dinner. As this chicken cooks in the oven, it will fill your house with amazing aromas. Don’t let the list of ingredients scare you off, it’s just simple spices like cinnamon, cardamom and chili powder which you probably already have in your spice cabinet right now. The result of all these ingredients is amazing. The chicken is tender, falls off the bone, a bit sweet from the golden raisins and dates, yet a bit spicy from all the spices. You can serve this over rice, couscous, a side of roasted potatoes or just a simple fresh salad. So next time you want to make a chicken dinner, consider this recipe. These exotic flavours are sure to impress your family.
