This recipe is tasty and very simple. I always use it at dinner parties, and it always impresses. You can use beef, lamb or fish instead of chicken. It is a very versatile marinade.

This marinade is a bit too salty for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of salt next time.

I'm not usually a fan of Moroccan food, but this marinade changed my mind. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavors were out of this world. I'll be adding this to my regular rotation.
