Ingredients Method Notes

المقادير
  

  • 1 chicken cut into pieces, or chicken thighs
  • 5 cloves garlic, crushed
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin and coriander
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 bunch parsley, chopped

Method
 

  1. Make the marinade by mixing together the garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, olive oil, and parsley.
  2. Coat the chicken pieces well and let them rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or overnight, even better).
  3. Preheat the grill or oven to medium heat.
  4. Grill the chicken, turning it and brushing it with the rest of the marinade, until cooked through and nicely browned.
  5. Turn up the heat for the last few minutes to get a golden, crispy crust.
  6. Let the chicken rest for a bit, then serve it with rice, potatoes, or a salad.

ملاحظات

Marinating the chicken long enough is the real secret to flavor and tenderness.
Don't overcook it, or the meat will dry out.
Let the chicken rest after grilling so it keeps all its juices.
