Ras el Hanout Rose Chicken Legs

Ras el Hanout Rose Chicken Legs

Ras el Hanout is a North African spice blend that already contains rose petal, so pairing it with Rose Cordial just amps up the floral notes. Coat the chicken with the paste, chill it a few hours, then roast on a wire rack for crisp skin.
