Chicken legs that cook gently under a thick layer of slowly caramelising onion, with golden raisins that swell in the sauce and a spoonful of honey at the end. Sweet and savoury at once, and one of the best known tagines in Moroccan cooking. The complete seasoning is in our Tagine Chicken with Onion and Raisins blend, added in two stages: first on the chicken, then on the onions. An hour in the tagine or pot, and the sauce does the rest.

Chef's tip

Let two cinnamon sticks cook along from the moment the onions go on. They give the sauce a soft, warm depth and look lovely on the table as a garnish.
