Ingredients

  • 20 oz (570g) chicken thighs deboned but skin on
  • sliced lemon for garnishing

Marinade:

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin optional
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3 dashes ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped Parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Debone the chicken thighs but keep the skin on. If you like skinless, you may buy skinless and boneless skin thighs.
  • Mix all the ingredients in the Marinade in a bowl, whisk to combine well. Marinate the chicken with the Marinade, in a bowl or in a plastic bag for 30 minutes, or best for 2 hours.
  • Fire up the grill and grill the chicken on both sides, until it's cooked through, and the skin is charred. You may bake the chicken in an oven at 400°F (207°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or pan-fried on a skillet on medium to low heat. Serve the chicken warm with some lemon wedges.
