Tips:
- Choose chicken pieces with skin on for extra flavor and moisture. Bone-in pieces are also preferred for a richer taste.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat to ensure that it cooks through without burning.
- Add the raisins and almonds during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent them from burning.
- Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, roasted vegetables, or salad.
