Make our roasted chicken recipe flavored with butter, cumin seed, paprika, ginger, cinnamon, and brown sugar in less than an hour.

Warm butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic & cumin seed, & cook until the ingredients begin sputtering.

Stir in paprika, ginger, cinnamon, salt, & pepper. Cook until they become aromatic.

Off heat, stir in the brown sugar, parsley, cilantro, & lemon juice. Set it aside.

Pat-dry the chicken, then make 1-3 slits in the chicken pieces. Brush them with the spiced-butter mixture.

Line the chicken onto the baking sheet, skin side up; bake for 10 minutes.

Brush the chicken with the remaining butter mixture and bake for another 15 minutes.

If you prefer a bit of char, as I do, allow the chicken to broil on high for the last 5 minutes.

Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley & cilantro and serve with couscous.
