Let’s dive into the process, step by step. Remember, cooking should be enjoyable and not stressful, so feel free to put on some music and have fun with it!

1. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for a more intense flavor.
3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easier—a tip I learned after many messy kitchen adventures.
4. Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
5. While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and salt until smooth.
6. Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
7. Serve the sliced chicken with a generous drizzle of garlic sauce. Enjoy the moment, like a Sunday dinner full of stories and laughter.
