Ingredients
- 8 pieces Boneless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by preparing the marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic cloves (minced), paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Place the boneless chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for best results.
Step 3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
Place the chicken thighs on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
While the chicken is resting, chop the fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve the grilled pargiyot hot, garnished with chopped parsley. Optionally, accompany with grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
