Coat the chicken thoroughly with the spice mixture and allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes on each side, until deeply golden and cooked through.

Remove the chicken from the heat and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
Squeeze the charred lemon over the chicken and finish with fresh parsley before serving.
