Moroccan Saffron Chicken is another Moroccan dish with an eclectic blend of spices that is easy to prepare and oh so aromatic!

1 whole chicken cut into individual pieces
1 large sweet onion cut into small chunks
1 Tbs. ground ginger
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. saffron threads crumbled
¼ cup butter
2 Tbs. olive oil
¼ chopped cilantro

You can prepare this dish in a tagine dish, Dutch oven, or crockpot. In a small dish place all the spices, except for the cinnamon stick. Mix well, and set aside. Line the bottom of your Dutch oven/tagine...
