Toast the guajillo chilies in a pan until fragrant.

Add fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, black cardamom pod, and cloves to the pan and toast until slightly smoking.

Pour the toasted spices into a spice grinder and grind into a fine powder.

In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, malt vinegar (or lime juice), and vegetable oil.

Add the ground spice mixture, ginger, and garlic to the yogurt mixture and stir to combine.

Prick the boneless skinless chicken thighs to allow the marinade to penetrate.

Marinate the chicken in the yogurt mixture overnight or for at least a couple of hours.

Preheat the oven and set it to broil.

Place the marinated chicken on a sheet pan and broil for about 10 minutes until charred.

Reserve some marinade, cook it in a pan with water and honey to create a sauce, and pour it over the cooked chicken.
