Djej M'hammer (Grilled/Seared Chicken)

A popular and simple way to prepare chicken, Djej M'hammer relies on a flavorful marinade and a good sear. The chicken is marinated in a blend of smen (fermented butter), garlic, paprika, cumin, and saffron, giving it a deep golden color and rich aroma. It's then roasted or pan-seared until the skin is crispy and the meat is succulent, often served with french fries and a simple salad.
