Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless, skinless chicken thighs to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest the Chicken

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Slice the chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
