Ingredients

  • 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5kg)
  • 2 lemons, juiced
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 
  • 2 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, chopped
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • Combine chicken and rest of ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well with hands. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes – overnight is best.
  • Heat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Once the grill is hot, grill thighs for 5-7 minutes per side. To check if the chicken is done, either use a thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh to read 165 F, or cut one thigh in the thickest part and make sure there isn’t any pink.
  • ENJOY!
