How to Make Grilled Chicken Moroccan Style

  1. In a large glass baking dish, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Add 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or a mix of breasts, thighs, and legs to the marinade.
  3. Turn the chicken to ensure it's fully coated in the marinade.
  4. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably 6-8 hours.
  5. Prepare your grill for medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  7. Place the chicken on the preheated grill.
  8. Grill the chicken, brushing occasionally with any remaining marinade, until cooked through. This will take approximately 10-12 minutes per side for breasts, and 12-15 minutes per side for thighs and legs. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Transfer the grilled chicken to a platter.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
