Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds skinless chicken thighs
- ¼ cup lime juice
- ½ cup orange juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a bowl, add ¼ cup lime juice, ½ cup orange juice, 4 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine.
- To a large bowl, add 2 pounds skinless chicken thighs and pour the marinade over the thighs. Be sure to get each thigh coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour.
- While the chicken is marinating, heat a grill up to between 350 and 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Once the chicken has marinated for at least an hour, place it on the preheated grill, close it, and allow the chicken to grill until the internal temperature reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 20-30 minutes. Turn the chicken halfway through cooking.
- Remove the cooked chicken and place them on a platter. Allow the chicken to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
