Cumin and Portugal Sea Salt encrusted Organic Chicken

Ingredients
2 Organic boneless/skinless chicken breasts
2 Organic boneless/skinless chicken thighs
1 lemon

Rub:
2 Tablespoon whole organic cumin seed
1 Tablespoon Selina Naturally Portugal Sea Salt
1 pinch organic cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon organic chili powder
1 teaspoon organic whole white pepper corns (or black pepper corns)

Toast the cumin seeds in 350 oven for 5-6 minutes, until fragrant. Grind the cooled seeds in a coffee grinder with white pepper corns until they are fully ground. Mix the rest of the rub ingredients in a bowl with the ground mixture and rub onto the clean and dried chicken breast and thighs. Marinate with dry rub for a few hours.

Bake chicken covered with foil in 350 convection bake oven for 20 minutes in a glass, baking dish. Check periodically after 15 minutes to be sure you don’t over cook the chicken. Plate and finish with lemon juice and Selina Naturally Portugal sea salt.

Cumin Seeds are naturally high in iron, which help to stimulate production of enzymes, so they are considered a digestive aid. The Selina Naturally Portuguese sea salt has a stronger punch of salty flavor than other Selina Naturally sea salts so the nutty, spicy flavor of the cumin is complimented well with this sea salt.
