Grilled Tequila-Lime Chicken Thighs

Mmmmmmmm!  I know it seems like I say this about nearly every recipe, but I swear, this one is also a 10 out of 10.  Tasty and easy, plus mostly quick prep...yep, this is a win for sure.  Most of the ingredients are easy to come by, though I can't be sure about the chipotle chile powder.  I was actually quite surprised to find it in the first supermarket I tried (Meijer)--McCormick brand, in case any one is curious :)  Anyhow, this recipe is one that requires marinating time--minimum of 8 hours.  Mine went 8 1/2 hours, as I prepped it in the morning and cooked in evening.  Thanks again to my brother for doing the grilling part (gotta give credit where it's due!) so dinner would be ready when I got home from work!  I modified a bit from original, which is linked below.

Ingredients:

1/3 c. tequila, preferably reposado (which is what I used)
1/3 c. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. agave syrup (I used "light" colored agave syrup)
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. chipotle chile powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. dried oregano, preferably Mexican (I did not have Mexican, just used regular)
2 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
coarse ground black pepper, to taste
6-8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (around 2 1/2 lbs.), trimmed of excess fat (**I forgot to trim mine and they turned out fine)

Instructions:

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients except chicken thighs.

2. Add chicken thighs and turn to coat/plunge in mixture.  Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 2 days.

3. Prepare a charcoal fire grill (or medium gas grill--350 to 375°F).  If desired, brush grate with oil to prevent sticking (we did not find this necessary, as we used charcoal grill).

4. Remove chicken from the marinade and place on grill.  Cook, flipping once, until charred in places and cooked through, around 8 minutes total (we did not time, so I cannot verify).

5. Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before serving.  Enjoy!
