Lebanese 7 spice is a flavourful blend of spices commonly used in Lebanese cuisine. Serve with a side of basmati rice, couscous or Lebanese Tabouli.

1. Preheat oven to 200°C
2. Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and  7-spice mix. Add onion, garlic,  preserved lemon and sliced lemon and toss again well. Spread out on a parchment-lined sheet-pan.
3. Bake for 35-45 minutes- or until cooked through. Broil for a few minutes to get the skin crispy and nicely golden, turning if necessary (especially if using skin-on chicken)
4. While the chicken is baking, warm and toast the almonds/pinenuts in a little butter or olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
5. Place the Lebanese spiced chicken on a platter, scattering with the onions and lemon slices (which are edible.)  Pour any juices from the pan, over top.

Almonds or pine nuts  are a delicious garnish but optional
