Bake time: 30-40 minutes

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 - large red onion, sliced

1 bunch - parsley, chopped

1 bunch - cilantro

6 cloves - garlic

3 - lemons, juiced

½ cup - grape seed oil or melted coconut oil

6 cloves - garlic

1 teaspoon - pink Salt

2 teaspoons - fresh ground pepper

1-2 tablespoons - cumin

2 teaspoons - paprika

½ teaspoon - cinnamon

2 teaspoons - turmeric

½ teaspoon - red pepper flakes

2 pounds - boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Directions:

To make the marinade, chop parsley, garlic and slice onions.  Place in a bowl.

Add lemon juice, grape seed oil, pink salt, ground pepper, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, turmeric and red pepper flakes to the bowl with the parsley, cilantro, garlic and onions. Mix well and set aside.

Place chicken in a large bowl or container that has a lid. 

Pour over chicken. Toss well to coat.  Cover with a lid or a piece of parchment paper and plastic wrap.

Place in fridge for 1 hour to 12 hours. The longer the chicken marinades, the better the flavor.
