Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • lime wedges for garnish

Directions

  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.

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

  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.
