Description

A vibrant dish that brings together the warm, inviting flavors of the Middle East with juicy chicken thighs and a zesty marinade.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lemon (juiced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Place the marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Marinate the chicken longer for more flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure doneness.
