2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp ground turmeric

½ tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

½ tsp ground turmeric
¼ tsp ground ginger
2–4 tbsp water
¼ tsp salt

Instructions

1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, turmeric, ginger, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice for the chicken until combined. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2
While the chicken marinates, make the dressing: whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, turmeric, ginger, and salt in a small bowl. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the dressing is pourable and smooth — it should fall off the whisk in a thin, steady ribbon.
