Creating North African Spiced Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground cinnamon, paprika, turmeric, minced garlic, grated ginger, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or a baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a baking dish.
5. Bake: Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). The chicken should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
6. Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh cilantro or parsley over the chicken for a fresh touch before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating an incredible meal that showcases the essence of North African flavors!
