Baked Moroccan Chicken

This baked Moroccan chicken is bold, zesty, and full of flavour from the very first bite. Chicken thighs are coated in a buttery blend of Rockin’ Moroccan Rub, garlic, and olive oil, then roasted over a bed of lemon slices and sweet onions. Finished with briny olives, fresh coriander, and a final squeeze of lemon, it’s a vibrant dish that’s effortless to make but loaded with depth.
