How to Make Berber Chicken
- In a large bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Add chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
- Remove chicken from marinade and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours to allow the skin to dry. This crucial step helps achieve crispy skin.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place chicken pieces in a single layer in a roasting pan. Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite fruited rice for a complete and delicious meal.
