instructions
step 1
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a large bowl and add all of the spices, olive oil, garlic cloves, and lemon juice. Toss well to coat the chicken. Add the onion slices and mix them together. Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and set aside to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
step 2
If marinating overnight allow the chicken to sit out at room temperature for an hour before cooking.
step 3
Make the Sauce: Combine all of the sauce ingredients together and whisk well. Taste and add salt if needed. This sauce keeps well in an airtight container stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
step 4
Set the broiler to high and place the oven rack under the broiler element. Place a rack on a metal baking tray. Arrange the chicken on the rack and broil for 16-18 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 165 °F.
