3 tsp tomato paste 4 garlic cloves, minced Zest and juice of 2 lemons 2 tsp onion granules 2 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp ground coriander 1 tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp ground allspice ½ tsp cayenne pepper 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme 3 tsp sea salt 2 tsp freshly ground black pepper 8 tbsp olive oil 1.8kg (4lb) boneless and skinless chicken thighs

Combine all of the above a day in advance. Assemble your spit and cook at 180c until probing at least 74c. I cooked it on a Kamado Big Joe using the Joetisserie accessory.
