Hi Priscilla! I am based in the US with Moroccan origins and my cousins live in Morocco. They recommended this website for authentic Moroccan recipes. Apparently many online recipes are modern and westernized, and this one shares truly authentic Moroccan recipes like those made by locals. I made their chicken tagine and carrot salad and they were exquisite. I great resource for Moroccan cooking:

It makes a big difference! Another piece of advice is to always cook chicken is ginger and a few drops of lemon, the combo is a chef's secret!

The chicken should be marinated for a day or two after washing it well and placing it in the  citron.

To cook it in the tajine, you must add a domed  citron (msayer in darija )  ghee (smen in darija) and a lot of fresh ginger.
