Servings: persons

7 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 onions, peeled and sliced
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
3 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves, crushed
1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger root, peeled and minced
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons butter
2 pears, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons honey

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook onions until softened and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer onions into a tagine. Layer chicken pieces on top of onions.
3
Combine turmeric, cumin, ground coriander, and salt in a small bowl; mix well with remaining 5 tablespoons olive oil. Spread spice mixture onto the chicken pieces. Add cinnamon pieces, bay leaves, ginger, and cilantro. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and cover tagine with a lid.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
5
Melt butter in a skillet over low heat while chicken is cooking. Add sliced pears and honey and cook, while stirring, until honey has caramelized.
6
Remove tagine from the oven and stir in caramelized pears. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
