Step by Step Method

Step 1

Coat a 9 x 13-inch roasting pan with nonstick cooking spray. (Use a metal pan or Pyrex glass that can go from refrigerator to oven)

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade (pepper through white wine) and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

Place 1/3 of the marinade in prepared roasting pan. Add the chicken on top of the marinade then cover with the remaining marinade mixture.

Step 4

Cover and allow to marinate for at least 60 minutes (all day in the refrigerator is better).

Step 5

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 6

Uncover the pan and transfer to oven.

Step 7

Bake 45 minutes, turning occasionally to brown the chicken all over.

Step 8

Transfer the chicken pieces to a serving plate. Garnish with parsley lemon slices and green olives.

Step 9

Serve with hot, cooked rice or cooked couscous.

This was good, although the cumin was a little overwhelming. I ended up marinating overnight, and the chicken was moist, tender, and ready to serve after only 30 minutes in the oven (I halved it to make 4 thighs).

Easy tasty recipe that will be repeated. I cut the recipe back to 4 thighs, marinated them for 7 hours. They were lovely and moist and loaded with flavour
