Ingredients
  • 1 1/2-2 lb boneless chicken tights
    • Fajita Marinade
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 4 cloves of garlic (Minced.)
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp chilli powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • black pepper (To taste.)
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix all the marinade ingredients until well combined. Add the chicken and coat it evenly in the marinade. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or 6–8 hours for deeper flavor. Cook over high heat until nicely charred and fully cooked through.
  2. Pat the chicken dry before cooking to help create a better sear and charred finish. For the best texture, avoid marinating chicken in citrus for longer than 12 hours.
