Ingredients:
For the garlic herb chicken:
Four chicken thighs
½ cup of chopped parsley
½ cup of chopped cilantro
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of black pepper
Two teaspoons of cumin
One teaspoon of paprika
One tablespoon of sumac (optional)
One teaspoon of ground coriander
One tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil
Directions:
Clean the four chicken thighs. Remove all excess fat and let drain.
In a bowl, add the cilantro, parsley, garlic, salt, spices, extra virgin olive oil, and sumac. Mix well.
In a container, mix the chicken with the garlic-herb mixture well, making sure all the chicken is covered with the herbs and spices. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour until you are ready to grill. You can even make it the night before to cook it the next day. The longer it marinates, the better.
To cook the chicken, you can use a grill of your choice, gas, or charcoal. in this recipe, I used the gas grill preheated to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil the grill to prevent sticking and place the chicken thighs flat on the grill and let cook until brown and tender.
