Ingredients

Servings:4
  • 2 lbs Boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp Ground cumin
  • 2 tsp Ground coriander
  • 1 tsp Smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes(optional)
  • 1 tsp Salt and black pepper
  • 1 large Large red onion, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and all the spices until well combined.

  2. 2

    Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated in the marinade.

  3. 3

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though overnight is preferred for maximum flavor penetration.

  4. 4

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet.

  5. 5

    Spread the sliced onions across the baking sheet and place the marinated chicken on top in a single layer.

  6. 6

    Roast for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the edges start to turn golden brown and crispy.

  7. 7

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

  8. 8

    Serve warm with pita bread, tahini sauce, and fresh cucumber salad.
