Before Cooking

1. In a food processor, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. Process on high for a couple seconds or until the ingredients are smooth.
2. Marinate the chicken thighs the mixture for a least 1 hour before cooking, but longer is better. 

To Cook on a Grill

• Put some oil on a hot grill and cook the chicken on each side for about 5 minutes, or until golden. Turn down the heat and cook for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer. 

To Cook in a Frying Pan

• Heat a heavy bottom frying pan with a little cooking oil. Place the chicken in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on each side or until it gets nice and golden. Turn down the heat, add a tiny bit of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when checked with a meat thermometer. 

After Cooking the chicken

1. Once the chicken finishes cooking (whether grilled or cooked in a pan), allow the meat to rest on a plate for a couple minutes before serving. This allows all the juiciness of the chicken to settle right where it needs to be – in the meat! ? Cutting the chicken without letting it rest will cause the juiciness to escape onto the plate instead!
2. Serve with a side of cilantro lime rice or whatever else you might fancy! 🙂
