Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, olive oil, white vinegar, lime juice, and honey. Whisk together until well blended to create a marinade.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and cook for another 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
