Description

This chicken with dried fruits is a comforting and fragrant dish, perfect for autumn evenings or end-of-year celebrations. I love preparing this recipe because it is simple to make and always appreciated. The chicken drumsticks, tender and juicy, are enhanced by the sweetness of apricots and prunes, all enhanced by a touch of cinnamon and turmeric. The flaked almonds add a delicate crunch. It's a complete and tasty dish that warms the heart and taste buds. Feel free to add a pinch of Espelette pepper for a spicier version! Serve with basmati rice for a balanced meal.
