Prepare the chicken by cutting it into quarters.

Grate the onion.

Peel and cut the tomatoes into pieces.

Toast the almonds under a broiler or fry in oil.

Toast the sesame seeds.

In a large pan, combine the chicken, peanut or vegetable oil, grated onion, tomatoes, salt, pepper, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and saffron.

Cook gently, covered, turning the chicken occasionally, for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender.

Remove the chicken from the pan.

Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat until it reduces to a thick, sizzling cream.

Stir the sauce frequently to prevent sticking or burning as it caramelizes.

Stir in the honey.

Return the chicken pieces to the sauce.

Heat the chicken through in the sauce.

Serve the chicken hot, covered with the sauce.

Sprinkle the dish with toasted almonds and sesame seeds before serving.
