Instructions

1

Mix olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, and 1 tsp salt in a bowl. Coat the chicken thighs thoroughly and let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight).

2

Preheat oven to 425F. Spread the chicken on a sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 20-25 minutes until charred at the edges and cooked through (165F internal).

3

While chicken roasts, make the garlic sauce by combining yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

4

Toss the diced tomatoes and cucumber with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, and salt for a quick side salad.

5

Slice the chicken against the grain. Warm the pita bread. Serve the chicken with garlic sauce, the tomato-cucumber salad, and warm pita.

Tip: For the best char, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes.
