Ingredients

6 servings

2 - 2 1/2 lbs. (900g-1.1kg) skin on chicken thighs
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
3 teaspoons fresh lime zest
1/4 cup olive oil
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped finely)
2 jalapeño (chopped finely)
4 cloves garlic (chopped finely)
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons salt

Steps

Rinse the chicken thighs, remove the bones, leaving the skin on, and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Get a big bowl and mix all the ingredients for the marinade together using a whisk. Make sure the marinade is well combined.
Add the chicken to the marinade, making sure to stir and coat the chicken evenly. Marinate for 2 hours.
Fire up the grill, brush a little oil on the surface. Add some of the garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno from the marinade on top of the chicken and grill until golden brown and charred on both sides. Serve immediately.
