Ingredients
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
Instructions
- In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add the chicken thighs and massage the bag with your hands to coat the chicken in the marinade.
- Press out as much air as possible and seal the bag tightly. Let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill the chicken until nicely browned and cooked though, 4 to 15 minutes per side. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
