Five stars! DH, DD (toddler) and I liked this a lot. I used a whole chicken cut in 4 and an extra garlic clove. I used a little less ground cinnamon. For the salt and pepper I used freshly ground black pepper and sea salt. I marinated it for a day cooking it the same night in an oven under broil for most of the time until little black showed on the tips of the chicken then I covered it with aluminum foil and turned the oven to 350F until done. I served this on top of Saffron Rice With Cashews and Raisins using toasted slivered blanched almonds instead of the cashews as we are mainly a bread free home. Along with this I also served Quinoa Tabouli and Cucumber Salad With Yogurt (Middle East, Palestine) for a great Lebanese/Palestinian meal, masha Allah. I will definitely make this again.

    This is awesome. I love Middle Eastern food and this has a really authentic taste. Very easy to prepare, and good with any cut of chicken; I have used breast fillets, drumsticks and thighs and they are all yummy. Thanks!

    This was a hit at home! Marinating overnight and grilled, then served with African-style rice, with spices and raisins.
