2
Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss thoroughly to coat every piece. Cover and refrigerate for at least ⏱️ 2 hours and up to ⏱️ 12 hours for best texture and flavor. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator about ⏱️ 30 minutes before cooking to take the chill off.
3
Grill or sear. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (475–500°F), or heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Lightly oil the grates or skillet. Place the chicken on the grill or in the pan and cook undisturbed for 4–⏱️ 5 minutes, until deeply charred and caramelized on the bottom. Flip and cook another 4–⏱️ 6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170–175°F.
4
Rest and chop. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 8–⏱️ 10 minutes. Slice into strips, then chop into small ½-inch pieces. Sprinkle evenly with the lime juice and toss to coat. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
5
Serve. Serve warm and enjoy!
