Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix the oregano, ground coriander, ground cumin and ground nutmeg for the spice mix.
2. In another bowl, combine the lemon juice, olive oil and minced garlic to make the marinade.
3. Pat the chicken dry and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the spice mix on both sides. Place in a bowl with the diced onion, pour in the marinade and turn the chicken so every piece is coated.
4. Leave to marinate at room temperature while the grill heats, or cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours (up to 8 hours).
5. Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat without oil. Place the lemon halves cut side down and grill briefly, then set aside.
6. Brush the grill pan with a little oil. Discard the leftover marinade, then lay the chicken in a single layer and cook 6 minutes per side, until it reaches 165°F (74°C). Lower the heat to medium if needed.
7. Transfer the chicken to a platter, add the grilled lemons and scatter with fresh parsley.
