Heat a splash of oil in a pan and brown the chicken legs and thighs all over, then remove to a plate.
Peel and dice the onion then in the same pan, sweat the onion until softened, before crushing in the garlic and adding the spices.
Allow to cook for about 2 minutes, then stir in the rice, dates, honey and browned chicken.
Cover with water and bring to the boil before allowing to simmer, covered, over a medium heat for 30 minutes, or until the rice and chicken are cooked through.
Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper, then pick, roughly chop and scatter over the coriander leaves, to serve.
