Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Pita bread
  • Fresh vegetables (like cucumbers and tomatoes)
  • Optional toppings (like feta cheese or pickled onions)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marinade by combining all spices (cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, cayenne pepper) in a bowl. Add olive oil, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Mix until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is thoroughly coated. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results).
  3. Preheat your grill or oven. Cook the marinated chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), approximately 20-25 minutes on the grill or 30-35 minutes in the oven.
  4. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with pita bread and fresh vegetables.
