• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric

Directions

Step 1

Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Pour the spice and oil mixture over the chicken strips, ensuring all the pieces are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
