This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The chicken is always moist and tender, and the spices are spot-on. I love serving it with a side of couscous and a dollop of yogurt.

Good recipe overall, but I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I'll try marinating it overnight next time.

I tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the spices were perfectly balanced. I especially liked the hint of sweetness from the honey. Will definitely be making this again.

This Moroccan-spiced chicken recipe was an absolute delight! The chicken was incredibly tender and juicy, while the spices gave it a lovely aromatic flavor. I served it with couscous and a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a hit with my family.
