Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lemon juice, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, and black pepper until combined. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

While the chicken marinates, make the caper-dill sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, capers, dill, garlic, and salt. Add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the sauce is smooth and pourable — it should fall off a spoon in a steady ribbon. Set aside.
