Instructions

1
Mince garlic and whisk together with olive oil, lime juice, cumin, oregano, cayenne, and salt in a small bowl.
2
Pat chicken thighs dry. Place in a large resealable bag and pour marinade over. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or 15 minutes for quick cooking).
3
Heat grill to medium-high (450°F). Oil grates to prevent sticking.
4
Grill chicken thighs skin-side down for 7 minutes until skin is charred and crispy. Flip and cook another 7 minutes until internal temp reaches 165°F.
5
Transfer to a warm plate and rest for 5 minutes.
6
Serve with warm corn tortillas, pico de gallo, and fresh lime.
