This sounds interesting...


Interesting...Cinnamon and Garlic..:)


I Love Middle Eastern food, but specially, Lebanese .... this is great!


Oh this sounds good. Cinnamon is so good for you too!! Bookmarking this one !!


This sounds devine! My kind of flavours....Thanks for posting it, JimRug1 :)


This sounds wonderful...and I love the flavors with the cinnamon addition. Saving to try - thanks so much, Jim!


Wonderful, cinnamon and garlic, very levantine. Can't wait to give it a go.


Thanks for the recipe! sounds delish! so I just added an extra chicken to my order from the farm! I keep cinnamon and ginger shakers at the table and use them like (and with) salt and pepper to regulate my blood sugar when I'm pregnant - which keeps the food down! thank you so much, jimrug1!


This sounds Great! Do you know if it could be made in the crock pot or an electronic pressure cooker?? Don't have a stove. Thanks!!! :) :) :)


I love placing any herb under the skin of a roasting chicken like you have done here. Making a spice rub is wonderful too!
A great way to make friends is to serve them this recipe.

Jim, I made your recipe last night and this is delicious, flavorful comfort food at its best. Plus, it's so darn easy to put together....what could be better than that?

I let my chicken (I used all thighs) sit in the rub for 4 hours and then let it cook with the lid off the Dutch oven for the last 30 minutes or so to allow the chicken to brown up. I love the spice rub on the chicken and veggies - and the chicken is so moist and juicy. I was amazed at how much tasty juice there was.

I served with English cucumber cut on the diagonal and wheat and white flatbread wedges. I also julienned some red pepper and jalapeno to dress up the top with some color and chile zip.

Great recipe, my dear - thank you! I have sent you some pics to peruse and use. High 5! ;-) ~Vickie

P.S. Aren't my olive plates nice?


Oooh, Jim - I like your prep pics you added, too. Kudos!! ;-)


Fantastic
