Preparation steps
Using a knife, separate chicken wings from breasts.
Separate the wings from drumettes using a knife to cut the center of the joint.
Separate the breast bone with a heavy knife or poultry shears from the back and cut into 4 parts. Rinse chicken pieces with cold water and pat dry.
Use a mortar or the handle of a heavy knife to crush coriander seeds. In a small bowl, mix crushed coriander with cumin, cinnamon, allspice, paprika and 2 teaspoons olive oil. Thoroughly coat chicken pieces with the mixture and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.
Peel onion and cut into thick wedges. Peel and finely chop garlic.
Rinse chile pepper, pat dry, remove stem, cut in half lengthwise and remove seeds. If necessary, rinse again. Dice finely.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a Dutch oven. Season chicken pieces with salt and fry over medium heat until golden brown on all sides, for 5-6 minutes.
Remove chicken pieces. Add onion and garlic to the same pan and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat in the chicken drippings. Place chicken pieces back into Dutch oven. Add the chile pepper, saffron and bay leaves.
Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Then reduce to medium heat and simmer for about 40 minutes with lid slightly ajar.
Meanwhile, chop the almonds coarsely and toast lightly in a dry pan. Add to the chicken pieces and cook for another 10-15 minutes.
Rinse parsley, shake dry and chop the leaves finely. Season chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
