Published on 17 January 2022
A favourite of Moroccan cuisine, preserved lemons add a mouthwatering intensity of flavour to these juicy chicken legs. This is a recipe well worth dusting off and firing up the barbecue for, although you can cook it in the oven if you prefer. Keep the Middle Eastern theme going in your accompaniments and serve with herby couscous or rice, peppered with pomegranate seeds. Time and servings
