Instructions: How to Cook Sephardic Chicken Passover
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the chopped onion, minced garlic, cinnamon, cumin, ginger, turmeric, cloves, nutmeg, honey, dried apricots, golden raisins, slivered almonds, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices and honey.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken mixture to the skillet and brown the chicken on all sides, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Garnish with additional parsley and almonds, if desired. Serve the Sephardic Chicken hot with your favorite Passover side dishes.
