Instructions
- Trim any fat from the chicken thighs and place them in a large freezer bag.
- In a food processor, blend lime juice, lime zest, cilantro, olive oil, honey, cumin, salt, and pepper for about 30 seconds. Reserve ⅓ cup of the marinade and pour the rest into the bag with the chicken.
- Refrigerate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (450°F), leaving one side off or on low.
- Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, basting each side the last time it's turned. If the chicken gets too charred, move it to the cooler side of the grill.
- Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lime wedges, additional cilantro, and drizzle with the reserved marinade.
