Zesty Broiled Chicken Thighs Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chicken Thigh Recipes. (Zesty Broiled Chicken Thighs Recipe). Sometimes, I just don't want to grill in the heat, outside. Using the broiler for these boneless, skinless chicken thighs only takes a few minutes, inside my air-conditioned kitchen, and gives the chicken a lovely char. We like Mexican flavors, so these can be sliced and used as fajitas, or as a soft chicken taco. I used them whole, as a main dish, to go along with Southwestern Veggie Skillet, on the Allrecipes site, and Mexican rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley.

Ingredients

1 large onion

chopped

¼ cup lime juice

¼ cup orange juice

8 cloves garlic

peeled

2 tablespoons avocado oil

2 teaspoons ground coriander

2 teaspoons ground cumin

2 teaspoons Mexican oregano

1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Combine onion lime juice orange juice garlic avocado oil coriander cumin Mexican oregano chipotle chile powder and smoked paprika in the bowl of a blender or food processor. Pulse several times to mix then puree for 1 minute until there are no visible pieces.

Step 2

Place marinade in a 1-gallon resealable bag and add chicken thighs. Squeeze out most of the air and seal. Gently squeeze contents of the bag until the chicken pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 3 hours.

Step 3

Set an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place marinated chicken thighs on a broiler pan.

Step 4

Broil until chicken thighs start to char about 8 minutes. Flip and continue broiling until the second side is lightly charred about 7 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken thigh should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 5

Remove chicken pieces to a serving platter.
