- For best results, marinate the chicken thighs in olive oil, ground cumin, and minced garlic for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
- Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before placing the chicken thighs on it to achieve a good sear and prevent sticking.
- While grilling the chicken, keep an eye on it and turn it frequently to avoid burning and to ensure even cooking.
- To make the cucumber pico de gallo, dice the tomatoes, cucumber, and chili peppers into small, uniform pieces for better texture and presentation.
- Chop the spearmint and scallions finely to distribute their flavors evenly throughout the pico de gallo.
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the pita breads on the grill before topping them with the BBQ chicken and cucumber pico de gallo.
- If you prefer a milder pico de gallo, remove the seeds from the chili peppers before chopping them.
