Ingredients:
2.2kg boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon flaky sea salt
Juice of 2 lemons (approx. 4 tablespoons)
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, lemon juice, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, cumin, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined to form the marinade.
Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour over the marinade, and mix well to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavour.
Preheat the BBQ or grill pan – If using a BBQ, heat it on high for 10–15 minutes, then lightly oil them to prevent sticking. If using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil.
Cook the chicken over medium heat (covered if using a BBQ) for 7–10 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Cooking time will vary based on thickness, so check doneness by slicing through the thickest part – the meat should be fully cooked with no pink remaining.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, loosely covered, to keep it juicy.
Serve with fresh salad, flatbreads, or your favourite sides.
