Step 1

Place the chicken thighs in a bowl or resealable gallon sized bag.

Step 2

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the olive oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, lime zest, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and garlic.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the chicken. Marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.

Step 4

Heat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium. Add the chicken in a single layer.

Step 5

Cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken registers 165 degrees F.

Step 6

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with additional cilantro for garnish, then slice and serve.
