Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Chicken Thighs
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 4 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 Tbsp Ground Cumin
  • 1 Tbsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt (Full-Fat)
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions

  1. In a ziplock bag, combine the chicken thighs, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a greased baking dish.
  3. Place the marinated chicken thighs in the greased baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
  4. In the final 1-2 minutes, switch to broil for a crispy exterior. Keep a close watch to avoid burning.
  5. Once broiled, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice into strips.
  6. Whisk together minced garlic, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a bowl for the garlic sauce.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve in pita, over rice, or atop a salad.
