Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups olive oil
• 0.5 Cups fresh lime juice
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) onion, minced
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) dried tarragon
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) hot sauce
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Pounds (lb) bone-in chicken thighs

Steps

1. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine olive oil, lime juice, onion, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and hot sauce. Shake to mix well.
2. Add the chicken thighs to the bag, ensuring they are well-coated with the marinade. Squeeze out excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
3. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
4. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Season the chicken with additional salt and black pepper.
5. Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until it is no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes. Chicken thighs are forgiving and can be cooked a bit longer if needed for a nice char.
