¼ cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Add the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, honey, chipotle pepper, garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
Pat the chicken thighs dry and place in a glass baking dish. Pour about two thirds of the marinade over and turn each thigh a few times to coat. Let marinate for 1 to 3 hours.
Set up your grill for indirect heat on one side. Place the chicken thighs, skin-side down, directly over the heat first. Let cook, watching carefully for flares, until the skin is nicely browned and has grill marks, about 4 minutes.
Flip the thighs and grill over direct heat for another 4 minutes, then move to indirect heat. Brush the tops with the remaining marinade and continue to cook until the thighs register at least 165ºF on an instant read thermometer.

Notes

Storage Information: Store the leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
