I used frozen thighs, and it took 45 minutes at 425*F. I also added 2 slivered onions, and a handful of raisins, so I doubled the spices/oil to coat all the extra goodies - super delicious, and a really simple meal. I really like the idea of serving it over couscous (or quinoa for a wheat free option,) since the chicken released a lot of juices that mixed with the spices and onion to make a flavorful sauce.
