Chicken Chermoula Recipe & Cooking Instructions | Juicy, Flavorful Chicken

Blog posts Chicken Chermoula

Chermoula (pronounced sher-moula) is a bright, herbaceous Moroccan sauce that imparts a myriad of flavors into a variety of meat dishes, from chicken to beef, pork and lamb. In this chicken recipe it is used as a marinade which allows all those herbs, spices, garlic and lemon juice to permeate the thighs and drumsticks.

The result is juicy, flavorful chicken. Serve with a rustic chickpea and tomato salad, and couscous.
