Chicken w/ Sofrito Gremolata Recipe

In Spain, the traditional earthenware casserole dish or cazuela is used to prepare rice dishes and stews and to braise and roast meats because of its even heating. A baking dish works just as well in the recipe for cumin-roasted chicken topped with fragrant sofrito gremolata.
