Servings: 10 servings
Calories: 185kcal
Ingredients
- 3.5 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs trimmed of excess fat (1568g)
- 1½ cups white onion chopped (160g)
- 4 frozen cubes of garlic or minced cloves
- 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar 30g
- 1½ Tbsp. honey 30g
- 1 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 Tbsp. chipotle peppers and adobo sauce a combo
- 1/2 Tbsp. cumin
- 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Trim thighs of any excess fat, but don’t mutilate them, a little is fine!
- Combine remaining ingredients in a blender or mini food processor to make the marinade. Pour over the chicken, cover and refrigerate for 2-12 hours if you have the time.
- When ready to cook, take your chicken out of the fridge and let it come to room temp for at least 15 minutes. I like to add a fresh pinch of kosher salt right before cooking. Preheat a grill, grill pan, or heavy-bottomed skillet to medium-high heat. Mist with a little oil, let it heat, and then add chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Cover if using a grill. Flip and cook the other side for 4 to 6 minutes more, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F.)
- We love these chopped up and used in burrito bowls, tacos, wraps, or salads!
