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) |
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.
