Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice for the chicken until combined. Add the chicken thighs and turn to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

While the chicken marinates, make the tahini sauce: whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce is smooth and pourable — it should fall off the whisk in a thin, steady ribbon. Set aside.
