We like spice so I doubled the spices for the spice rub. This was excellent and perfect with couscous and almonds.
Moroccan-Spiced Chicken Thighs
Oxmoor House
Chicken thighs cooked in a smoky, acidic tomato sauce combine seamlessly with a sweet, nutty couscous to create a hearty North African—inspired meal. While the chicken simmers, prepare the couscous so both dishes will be ready at the same time.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 chicken thighs and 1/4 cup tomato sauce)
