Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp ground coriander, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp honey, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until combined.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, turning to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for deeper flavor.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade and discard marinade. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the edges are nicely charred.
  4. Step 4: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro before serving. Serve with grilled vegetables or rice.
