To serve:

  1. In a large sealable bag set into a bowl, combine the salt, cumin, paprika, turmeric, garlic and ginger. Stir in three tablespoons of oil. Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks
  2. Seal the bag, pushing all of the air out, and use your hands to work the marinade around the chicken. Place in the fridge for four hours
  3. Heat the remaining oil in a large casserole dish or tagine over a medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding the pan, brown the chicken pieces on all sides, then transfer to a plate and set aside
  4. Add the onions to the pot along with the saffron, if using. Season with salt and black pepper and cook for 12-15 minutes until soft, stirring occasionally
  5. Return the chicken to the pot and add the lemon slices and stock. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat to medium-low. Cover with a lid and cook for 40-45 minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked throughout
  6. Stir in the olives and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Scatter with parsley and serve with rice.
