Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 F (see notes for grilling)

- Bake for 35-45 minutes- or until cooked through. Broil for a few minutes to get the skin crispy and nicely golden, turning if necessary (especially if using skin-on chicken)
- While the chicken is baking, warm and toast the almonds/pinenuts in a little butter or olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Place the fragrant chicken on a platter, scattering with the onions and lemon slices (which are edible.) Pour any juices from the pan, over top. Garnish with the toasted nuts and sprinkle with a few parsley leaves.

Tips:
- Use a variety of spices: This recipe uses a blend of cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric, but you can adjust the spices to your own taste. Other good options include garam masala, ginger, and cardamom.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning.
- Do not overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but still juicy.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This recipe is great served with rice, vegetables, or naan bread.
Conclusion:
This Far East Spiced Chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its blend of spices, the chicken is flavorful and tender. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
