Notes
Pat the chicken thighs dry- Oil and water don't mix so use paper towels to dry the chicken thighs so the marinade will adhere to the meat.
Marinate for at least 2 hours- The longer the meat marinates, the more flavor and moisture that is absorbed into it. Preparing this the night before will give the thighs great flavor.
Check doneness- Use a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is fully cooked. It should have an internal temperature of at least 165ºF.
