Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, oregano, and black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

  4. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (400°F).
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and discard leftover marinade. Grill or bake for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with creamy green sauce drizzled over the top.
