Moroccan Inspired Spiced Chicken
These Moroccan Inspired Spiced Chicken thighs are incredibly easy to make and packed with flavor! Coated with a homemade spice blend and a drizzle of charred lemon, they are a wonderful weeknight dinner option. Cooking the chicken thighs in a cast iron braiser or pan (we use an enameled cast iron braiser) also helps them develop a lot of color and flavor on the outsides, even without skin. If you don’t have cast iron, you can also cook them in a stainless steel pan or even a non-stick. If using stainless steel, just be sure to use enough oil so that they don’t stick too badly.
