Turmeric-Spiced Chicken With Cucumber Salad

In a bowl, mix olive oil, turmeric, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the cucumber salad by combining sliced cucumber, red onion, cilantro, lemon juice, and sugar in a bowl.

Toss the cucumber salad gently to mix all ingredients well.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve the sliced turmeric-spiced chicken alongside the cucumber salad.
