Instructions

1
Whisk tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric, water, and salt until smooth and pourable. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 4–5 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip and cook 2 more minutes.
3
Pour tahini sauce over and around the chicken (not over the skin directly). Transfer to a 400°F oven and roast for 20–22 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and the sauce is set. The sauce will thicken in the oven and turn a lovely golden color. Garnish with pine nuts, paprika, and parsley.
