My grilled boneless chicken thighs are coated in a zesty marinade and grilled until they’re lightly charred, juicy, and a touch smokey. Ready in 20 minutes! Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
In a bowl, combine the lime juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the boneless chicken thighs in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to four hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off.
Place the chicken thighs on the preheated grill, skin side down if using skin-on thighs. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.

Notes
TO STORE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. TO FREEZE: Let the chicken thighs cool completely, then keep them in a freezer bag and freeze for 3 months. TO REHEAT: To prevent them from drying out, wrap the thighs loosely in foil and reheat them in a 325F oven until warmed (about 15 minutes).
