I made this for lunch today with http://www.food.com/recipe/moroccan-style-pumpkin-and-couscous-salad-310939 and it was delicious, thanks for such an easy and yummy meal.

OMG we loved this. We used skinless chicken thighs with the bone in, but slashed the chicken to the bone to allow the marinade to penetrate. We marinated them for 28 hours, so they really took on the flavour. It was simple, the thighs were juicy and I want to eat them again really soon which I can cos I've got more chicken chops in the freezer! We ate this over a lentil, rice tomato spinach pilaf that I added similar flavours to. It was a wonderful meal.

I really liked these, the flavors were great. However the one thing i will do next time is use boneless meat and put them on skewers to marinate. I think it would let the wonderful flavors permeat even more of the chicken. Otherwise, fantastic and will make again
