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
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine olive oil, lime juice, onion, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and hot sauce. Shake to mix well.
- 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.
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Season the chicken with additional salt and black pepper.
- 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.
