🍽️🍜Moroccan ginger lemon chicken from Milk St Kitchen-boneless chicken thighs in a marinade of grated ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, honey, garlic, coriander, cumin, and salt and pepper. finished with olive oil and mint, with grilled lemons w/honey and grilled ciabatta rolls. delicious.
