Inspired by Palestinian Musakhan, these juicy grilled chicken thighs may be easy but they're anything but simple: A bold marinade loads them with warming, bright, and citrusy flavors. Serve on a sunny day family-style, making room on a big platter for freshly grilled pita bread, tart sumac pickles, and creamy tzatziki. Doesn't get much better!
