In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the chopped basil, oregano, cumin, coriander, turmeric, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

While the chicken marinates, whisk together the tahini, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and salt in a small bowl. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the dressing is smooth and pourable, with a consistency thin enough to drizzle easily. Set aside.
