Mix all of the marinade spices in a mixing bowl with the lemon juice.

Cut the chicken into small bit size pieces and add it to a large zip-lock bag. Pour marinade over chicken, seal bag and mix marinade into the chicken using your hands. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the garlic tahini sauce.
