Ingredients

• 6 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add cayenne pepper if desired for extra spice.

Step 2

Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 4 hours for more flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the grill surface is clean and well-oiled to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and place them on the preheated grill.

Step 5

Grill the chicken thighs for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring a juicy and properly cooked result.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Serve the grilled pargiyot with your choice of side dishes such as a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or whole-grain rice.
