Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken

I love Middle-Eastern-inspired dishes, and Moroccan Chicken is a favorite! Traditionally made in a tagine, this recipe is adapted for the slow cooker, with much the same results. The combination of spicy, sweet, and pungent is delightful on the taste buds!!

Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken Recipe. Instead of a slow cooker, could one use a clay pot? If so, what would be the ideal temperature & time?

Delicious! The chicken falls off the bone. I used only one (rather large) preserved lemon. My family loved!

This is my new favorite slow-cooker dish! It’s remarkably flavorful and simple to prep and cook as well. I researched a few similar recipes online but this is what I’d recommend in terms of flavor profile and simplicity.
