Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup fresh orange juice, 1/4 cup fresh lime juice, 3 tbsp olive oil, and 4 minced garlic cloves to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to the marinade and mix well.
  3. Step 3: Place 6 boneless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs) in the marinade, coating thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours.
  4. Step 4: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off.
  5. Step 5: Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, turning once, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the surface is nicely charred.
  6. Step 6: Remove chicken from grill and rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
