Cooking instruction summary:
1 Salt chicken thighs on both sides and let rest while you prepare the sauce.2 If using whole cumin and coriander seeds, lightly toastthe whole cumin and corianderin a small skillet on medium heat, until fragrant. Put into a mortar and pestle and grind until powdery.3 Make the chermoula sauce: Put 4 cloves garlic, parsley, cilantro, salt, cumin, coriander, paprika, and lemon zest in a food processor. Pulse several times. With the motor running, slowly add in the olive oil, then the lemon juice. Process until you have a smooth paste. You should have almost a cup of chermoula sauce.4 Brown chicken thighs in skillet: Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil on medium high heat in a large cast iron pan and preheat oven to 350F. Pat dry the chicken pieces and place them skin side down in the hot pan. Let them cook until deep golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Then turn them over and cook a few minutes more. 5 Drain excess fat: Because you are working with skin-on thighs, you will likely render quite a bit of fat.
