- Wash the chicken well and let it drain
- Mix the marinade ingredients — garlic, lemon, oil, salt, cilantro, white pepper and dried coriander — and soak the thighs
- Leave the chicken marinating in the fridge for at least two hours
- Place the chicken thighs in a tray and cover with aluminum foil
- Put them in the oven at 200°C for half an hour
- After the time elapses, remove the aluminum foil and return the tray to the oven for another half hour until some of the sauce evaporates and the chicken is well cooked
