This was the BOMB! I love the show, The Kitchen, and this recipe was adapted from GZ. My husband went nuts for this!
You may need:
Grill Pan
GZ Chicken Marinade
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon chile powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin (can use 1 tsp. if you love it)
- ¼ teaspoon ground oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice plus zest of 2 limes
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
- 1 ½ tablespoons honey
- 4-5 medium cloves garlic
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 T. avocado oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat the avocado oil in a small saucepan until warm.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the ancho chile powder, cumin, salt, oregano, smoked paprika and black pepper.
- Allow the spices to bloom in the oil for about 15 minutes.
- Pour the oil mixture into a food processor or blender; add the lime juice, zest, Worcestershire, orange juice, tamari, honey and garlic and blend until smooth.
- Place the chicken in a ziploc plastic bag and scrape in the marinade.
- Cover or close and chill 3 to 4 hours. (Don't marinate longer, or the texture will change.)
- Heat a cast-iron grill pan or grill to medium-high heat until very hot. Add the avocado oil and grill the chicken until well-charred on both sides and the internal temperature registers 160 degrees F, 6 to 7 minutes per side.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to rest before slicing.
