Marinade and Chicken
Method
Preparation
- 1
Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Grill the Chicken
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is nicely charred.

Rest and Serve
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken into strips and serve it with pita bread, fresh vegetables, and your favorite sauce.
