Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
• Lime wedges for garnish
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk cilantro, oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl. Add thighs and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 3

Cook thighs for 6 minutes. Flip and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with lime wedges if desired.
