Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed for Paleo compliance)
• 0.25 cup lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, coriander, chipotle powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the juice mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more intense flavor. Turn the chicken occasionally for even marination.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and discard the marinade.

Step 7

Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and a nice char is developed.

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes to retain its juices.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with grilled vegetables or a simple salad to keep it Paleo-friendly.
