North African Spice Mixture

A spicier substitute to my fresh herbs mix, this recipe will give your chicken a exotic flavor while still maintaining a fresh, tender texture. This is so easy to make, you can spend more time entertaining your guests and catching up with your friends, rather than cooking in the kitchen for the entire party. Add this marinade to your steak, chicken or kebabs. You definitely can't go wrong here.
