Expert Tips for the Perfect Chicken Tagine
Choose the Right Cut: For the most tender and flavorful results, always opt for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or legs. They stand up beautifully to the slow cooking process and won’t dry out like chicken breast can.
Don’t Skip the Marinade: Even 30 minutes of marinating the chicken in the spices before cooking will make a world of difference. It allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, not just sit in the sauce.
Layer for Success: Always place your hardier vegetables like carrots and potatoes at the bottom of the pot, with the chicken nestled on top. This protects the meat from scorching and allows the vegetables to soften in the delicious juices.
