Slow-Cooker Moroccan-Spiced Chicken image

Dark meat chicken delivers tons of flavor at a low cost, and a long simmer in this spicy marinade packs extra punch. Preparation time includes overnight marinating. To complete this meal, you can serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked couscous. Drizzle it with some of the cooking liquid and garnish with sliced almonds!
