Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • juice of 1 lime
  • green tops of green onions green part only, sliced, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, ground coriander, ground turmeric, salt, pepper, and lime juice to make the marinade.
  • Place the chicken thighs or drumsticks in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it coats each piece evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour (ideally marinate for 4 to 6 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse into the chicken.
  • Preheat your oven to medium-high heat (400°F / 200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off any excess. Place the chicken on the baking sheet.
  • Bake the chicken for about 20-25 minutes, turning the pieces occasionally to ensure even cooking. Then switch oven to high broil to get a nice roast on the outer layer of chicken. For even roasting/browning, flip chicken after about 5-7 minutes and broil other side for another 5-7 minutes.
  • Once the chicken is done, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with sliced green tops of green onions (if using) for added color and flavor.
