Ingredients


2 from 2 lemons Lemon juice
1/2 cup Extra virgin olive oil
4 clove(s) Garlic (peeled, minced)
1 tsp Kosher salt
2 tsp Black pepper
2 tsp Cumin
2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Turmeric, ground
1 dash Cinnamon
1 dash Red pepper flakes (to taste)
908 gm Chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
1 large Yellow onion (peeled, quartered)
2 tsp Hot sauce (for topping, divided)
1/4 cup Cilantro (coriander) (for topping)
2 cup Lettuce, spring mix (mesclun) (for topping)
1 large Tomato (for topping)
6 medium pita Pita bread, whole-wheat (or tortillas)

Instructions


Combine all ingredients (except chicken thighs, yellow onion, tortillas and toppings) in a bowl or freezer bag.

Add chicken thighs. Marinate 12-24 hours or freeze marinade ahead. Marinade will thaw in the fridge in 12 hours, marinating the chicken as it thaws.

Heat oven to 425F.

Use a casserole dish to cook marinated chicken thighs in a single layer for 30-40 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Rest chicken for 5-10 minutes before shredding or slicing.

Serve on tortillas or pitas with toppings and sides.
