Whether you call it tagine, tangine, or tajine, its all the same. I tried this deliciousness in a Moroccan restaurant a while back. I embarrassed myself by leaving my plate shining clean. Mopping up with pieces of khobz Moroccan bread, I wasnt about to waste one drop of that drool-worthy sauce.
When I finally got a chance to play with the recipe, it surprised me how easily it came together. The chicken tagine recipe looked complicated initially, but after organizing the ingredients, it went smoothly.
This dish comes from a little closer to my beloved Cameroon. That may be why I fell in love with it. The olives and preserved lemons give it salty umami that soothes the soul.
Moroccan Chicken TagineIm sure the inventor of this fantastic recipe cut up a whole chicken. However, its best with leg quarters or thighs. Leg quarters dont get dry and tough when overcooked. And theyre budget-friendly on top of being downright delicious.
