Cooking instruction summary:

1 Salt chicken thighs on both sides and let rest while you prepare the sauce.2 If using whole cumin and coriander seeds, lightly toastthe whole cumin and corianderin a small skillet on medium heat, until fragrant. Put into a mortar and pestle and grind until powdery.3 Make the chermoula sauce: Put 4 cloves garlic, parsley, cilantro, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse several times. With the motor running, slowly add in the olive oil, then the lemon juice. Process until you have a smooth paste. You should have almost a cup of chermoula sauce.4 Brown chicken thighs in skillet: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil on medium high heat in a large cast iron pan and preheat oven to 350F. Pat dry the chicken pieces and place them skin side down in the hot pan. Let them cook until deep golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Then turn them over and cook a few minutes more. 5 Drain excess fat: Because you are working with skin-on thighs, you will likely render quite a bit of fat. Remove the chicken from the pan and pour off any excess fat. (Do not pour down the drain unless you want to clog your drain pipes.) Return the chicken to the pan.5 Spread chermoula on chicken, bake in oven:Spread most of thechermoula sauce on both sides of the chicken thighs, reserving 1/4 cup of the fresh sauce to add later. With the chicken skin-side up, put the skillet in the 350F oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until the thighs are cooked through and the temperature near the bone is 165F.6 Spoon remaining sauce over chicken: Stir the reserved fresh chermoula sauce in with the pan sauce.

Food Joke

Juan was driving down a country lane in his pickup when suddenly a chicken darted into the road in front of him. He slammed on his brakes, but realized that the chicken wasspeeding off down the road at about 30 miles an hour. Intrigued, he tried to follow the bird with his truck, but he couldn`t catch up to the accelerating chicken. Seeing itturn into a small farm, Juan followed it. To his astonishment, he realized that the chicken had three legs. Looking around the small farm, he noticed that ALL of thechickens had three legs.The farmer came out of his house, and Juan said, "Three-legged chickens? That`s astonishing!"The farmer replied, "Yep. I bred `em that way because I love drumsticks."Juan was curious. "How does a three-legged chicken taste?"The farmer smiled. "Dunno. Haven`t been able to catch one yet."
