Just be sure to baste it with the marinade every 20 minutes or so. - Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice. - For a more flavorful chicken, marinate it overnight in the refrigerator. - Use a variety of Moroccan spices, such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric, to create a complex flavor profile. - Be sure to cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, as this will ensure that it is safe to eat.Conclusion:
