Chicken pieces in a baking dish with tahini: in a marinade of raw tahini, lemon, garlic and spices that bakes onto the chicken, or baked in an oil-and-spice marinade and covered with tahini sauce for the last minutes in the oven.
Mix the lemon juice, garlic, cumin, paprika, olive oil, salt and black pepper.
Bowl
2
Marinate the chicken in the mixture at least 1 hour.
3
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
4
Arrange the chicken in a baking dish.
Baking pan
5
Bake 25–30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked.

💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.
