Crockpot Moroccan Chicken

In a search for another good crockpot chicken recipe, I came across this one. It looked pretty simple, and I've always wanted to try Moroccan food whenever I came across a restaurant during work. I remember how good their food smelled, but never found anyone adventurous enough to try it with me. So I tried to make it at home, and let me tell you, it smelled just as good as I had imagined. And tastes even better. If you're in to the sweet and savory taste, this recipe is for you. Its real easy.

2 tsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. ground ginger

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

2 lbs. chicken thighs and drumsticks

1 Tbsp. oil

1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained (optional)

1/2 cup dried apricots

1/2 white wine

1/3 cup raisins

1 package onion soup mix

1 lemon, juiced
