Marinate the chicken overnight for this easy recipe for Moroccan Chicken Skewers with Apricots and Onion, and the final dish will come together in a flash.
.Chicken has every right to be exciting. The humble bird is often dismissed, considered boring or too quick to dry out when cooked. Well, think again. Chicken is uncomplicated, reliable and an all-around crowd-pleaser. More important, it loves a good rub or marinade and will obligingly absorb a sauce’s flavors, spices and aromatics to enhance the best of its simple-chicken self.
This recipe relies on a heady blend of North African spices muddled with oil, lemon and runny honey to create a soupy, fragrant paste. I recommend using thighs in the recipe because thigh meat is generally flavorful and juicy, but breast meat is fine, too — just don’t combine the two cuts on a skewer, since they will have different cooking times.Whisk the marinade ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Place the chicken in the bowl and turn the pieces to thoroughly coat.
Turn on the oven broiler and continue to cook until the edges of the meat are browned and crisp in spots, and the meat is thoroughly cooked through, about 5 minutes more, turning once. Watch carefully to prevent burning.If using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the skewers over direct medium-high heat until well-marked and thoroughly cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes, turning once or twice.
