Ingredients:
1/2 c. avocado oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 c. avocado oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp cracked black pepper
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, add the lemon juice, avocado oil, salt, pepper, and spices and whisk. Place the raw chicken thighs into a gallon-sized zipper bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Rub the marinade into the chicken with your (clean) hands, then press the air out of the bag, seal, and place in the fridge. Marinate at least a few hours, and up to overnight. I prepare the marinade first thing in the morning for an evening meal.
- When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it onto a rimmed baking sheet. Pour any excess marinade over the chicken. Roast for 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked throughout. Set aside to cool slightly, then slice into 1/2" strips.
