Mexican Style Chicken Thighs

Step 1

Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil over the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Add the seasonings and work the chicken until the seasoning is evenly coated.

Step 2

Squeeze lime juice over the top and then place the chicken in a container, or zip top bag and allow the chicken thighs to marinate for 20 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

Step 3

Once ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, olace the chicken thighs in a single layer in the pan. Let the chicken cook 4-6 minutes without turning, then flip the chicken thighs, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan and cook on the other side for an additional 4-6 minutes.

Step 4

The chicken is done when it reached 165˚F internal temperature. Remove the chicken from the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes. Then toss with the cilantro and serve.
