Ingredients:

Serving

3 -5 tbsp oil
4 lbs chicken thighs (skin on )
salt and pepper
1 large onion, chopped
2 tbsp fresh minced garlic (or to taste)
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp turmeric
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp grated lemon zest (can use more )
1 tbsp flour
3 cups chicken broth
3 tbsp honey (or to taste)
1 1/2 cups chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup dark raisin (or to taste)
cooked rice

Directions:

In a large heavy saucepan (I use my electric frypan for this) heat oil over medium heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper the brown well on both sides; transfer to a plate.
Add in onions and garlic; saute for about 5 minutes, then add in cumin, turmeric, paprika and cinnamon; cook stirring with a wooden spoon for about 1 minute.
Stir in broth, honey, lemon zest and flour; stir to combine.
Then add in the browned chicken; simmer covered for about 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes of cooking add in the raisins and continue to cook (UNCOVERED) until the chicken is completely cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).
Season with salt and pepper.
Remove the chicken to plate/s.
Add in the chickpeas and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with cooked rice.
