I still make it every so often and marvel at how wonderful it is. I've tried it with couscous and polenta and it's great both ways.

Tender chicken that succulently falls from the bone, boldly flavored with a unique spice blend and enlivened by the sweet toasty crunch of the honey and almonds, brings to the table a very surreal and ultra-satisfying dining experience. I served this for a small dinner party with a spinach and dried cherry salad, crunchy baguette with an herbed compound butter, and a toasted-almond banana ice cream—my appreciative sated guests swooned. This dish is undoubtedly in the top ranks of my frequently made recipe list. [Shelly Sinton] The divine medley of tastes from this dish is still sumptuously smacking on my palate.

The resulting aromas and complex flavors of the dish convinced me that I wouldn't have wanted to leave out a thing. I was unable, however, to verify the headnote's contention that the dish improves over time because there was not a morsel left over. This is definitely going on my short list of potluck dinner dishes.
