Time 2h6m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 18

¼ cup ground cinnamon
¼ cup ground cumin
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons crushed dried mint
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
½ cup chopped dried apricots
¼ cup raisins
¼ cup olive oil, or as needed
4 bone-in chicken thighs
½ small onion, minced
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup honey
½ bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Mix cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, coriander, ginger, mint, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Measure out 1/2 cup spice mix and set the remaining aside for another use.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil; add apricots and raisins. Cook until fruit is soft, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking water.
  • Pour enough olive oil into a large skillet or Dutch oven to coat the bottom; turn heat to medium. Coat chicken with the 1/2 cup spice mix and place in the hot oil; cook until golden brown and releases easily from the skillet, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Mix onion and garlic into skillet with chicken; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add apricots, raisins, reserved 1/2 cup water from fruit, chicken broth, and honey; reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until chicken is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
  • Serve chicken garnished with cilantro and almonds.
