Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 3 limes
  • 1-2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 2-3 pounds chicken thighs, bone-in or boneless

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together all marinade ingredients, dump into a plastic bag with chicken thighs. Marinate 1-3 hours. The exterior of the chicken might begin to turn white as the lime juice is a cooking agent. Discard marinade upon grilling.
  • GRILLING INSTRUCTIONS: Heat up grill to 450 degrees. Grill each side of chicken thighs, about 3-5 minutes per side for boneless, or 10-12 minutes per side for bone-in.
  • OVEN INSTRUCTIONS: Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place thighs evenly in pyrex or metal baking pan, not overlapping. Bake for 25-30 minutes for boneless and 30-40 minutes for bone-in.
  • Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted at thickest part reads 180 degrees.
