There’s nothing better than a juicy piece of chicken, especially with some serious crunch from the skin! This recipe is so easy to prepare and has some major flavor impact from the homemade dried falafel mix and it is gluten free.

Is there a recipe for the homemade felafel mix??
looks great, but there was no recipe for the homemade dry falafel mix…
This looks lovely! And it’s not fried!!! Do you think this could work with chicken cutlets? If you cut chicken fingers into little nuggets and serve them in a pita with Israeli salad and all the fixings I bet it could be a really healthful and yummy supper!
Whoa Mel this looks SOOOOO good – I can not wait to try it.
