Step 1

Place the garlic cloves on a cutting board and place the flat side of a knife on top of them. With your fist, lightly strike the knife to crack the cloves, then remove and discard the peel.

Step 2

Place a 1-gallon zipper storage bag inside a large bowl so it’s standing up. Pour the water into the bag, then add the garlic, salt, coconut aminos, bay leaf, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and peppercorns. Stir with your hand to dissolve the salt, then add the chicken to the bag.

Step 3

Seal the bag and place the bowl in the refrigerator for 2 hours, then rinse the chicken well, and set it in a colander to dry while you move on to the spice blend.

Step 4

Preheat a gas grill on high heat, with the lid closed, about 10 minutes.

Step 5

Place all the spice blend ingredients except the coconut oil in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Put the coconut oil in a microwave-safe dish and heat until melted, about 15 seconds. Pour the melted oil into the spice blend and combine with a fork.

Step 6

Coat the chicken pieces with the mixture. You can either massage it on lovingly by hand or toss it in a bowl with enthusiasm until the chicken is coated.

Step 7

Place the chicken smooth side down on the preheated grill, close the lid, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip the chicken, cook for an additional 3-4 minutes with the lid closed, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 8

Serve with Moroccan Dipping Oil (look to recipe).
