I developed this recipe for Manischewitz, using their chicken broth. Don’t be intimidated by the long list of spices. There is lots of action in the flavor profile and Moroccan cuisine is one of my favorites.
1 teaspoon freshly ground Gefen Black Pepper
2 chickens, cut into quarters
1 cup chicken broth, store-bought, such as Manischewitz Chicken Broth or homemade
1 cup cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cinnamon stick
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons cumin
1 cup dried dates, halved
1 cup dried apricots, halved
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, finely grated
1/4 cup Gefen Honey
2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 tablespoons neutral oil
4 medium onions, sliced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 pinch saffron threads, crumbled
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons turmeric
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat; add oil. When oil is hot, sauté onions, garlic, and ginger till soft. Add the spices.
Lower heat; cook for additional two minutes. Transfer onion, garlic, and ginger to a large baking dish or two nine- by 13-inch pans.
Increase heat to high; using the same sauté pan, sear the chicken pieces for a few minutes on each side until brown on both sides.
Place chicken into the baking dish; set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together broth, honey, cilantro, cinnamon stick, dates, and apricots; pour mixture over the chicken.
Cover pan(s) tightly with foil; bake for 45 minutes.
Raise oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Uncover pan(s); baste chicken with pan juices and bake for another 20 minutes, uncovered, until chicken is golden brown.

would I use half of all the ingredients if I wanted to make only enough for 4 servings or would I need to experiment with them?
You mean to just cut the recipe in half? Yes.
Ok thanks that’s what I thought just wasn’t forsure
