friederike from Berlin,
The chicken was very delicious - crisp skin, lots of spices, juicy meat, just right! Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the rice/pilav - it was completely overcooked and lacked flavour. Nothing that cannot be remedied, though, and the basic idea was very nice - just cook the rice as you usually do, and use at least another teaspoon ras el hanout for the rice, plus smoked paprika (or other spices/spice mixes - za'atar maybe?). I could also see the rice being replaced by couscous is this dish.
For this dish, we used our usual homemade harissa and (new!) also homemade ras el hanout, and served it with Aubergines with Mint and Yoghurt as a side dish, which combined well.
