Description
-
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in upper third position. Whisk together lemon juice, coriander, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, grated garlic, cardamom, turmeric, cayenne, and 1/4 cup oil in a medium bowl. Add chicken thighs, and toss to coat completely. Cover and let stand at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour. (Alternatively, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.)
-
Drizzle a large aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Remove chicken from bowl using tongs, leaving remaining marinade in bowl, and place on the baking sheet. Toss onion wedges in remaining marinade in bowl until coated; arrange onion wedges around chicken. Bake until chicken and onion are browned, crisp at the edges, and a thermometer inserted into thickest portion of chicken registers at least 170°F, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven; let rest 2 minutes. Slice chicken, and toss with onion wedges on pan.
-
Process jalapeños and garlic in a blender until finely chopped, about 5 seconds. Add cilantro, oil, lemon juice, and salt; process until mostly smooth and bright green, 30 to 45 seconds. If needed, stir in additional oil until desired consistency is reached. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Stir together hummus, cumin, and coriander in a medium bowl. Set aside.
