Ingredients

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs (marinade will be enough for 2-3 lbs)

Marinade:

1/2 cup vegetable or canola oil
3 ripe lemons juice only
3 tbsp white wine vinegar
6 garlic cloves pressed
3 tbsp fresh minced dill weed
2 tbsp fresh minced parsley
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
salt

Instructions

Set aide enough time for the chicken to marinade. Marinading chicken will take at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
Combine all ingredients in a jar, close the lid tight, and shake it like Ricky Martin just came on the radio.
Place chicken in a large zip-lock bag and pour the marinade all into the bag.
Close the bag, letting all the air out, and lay the bag down either in a large plate or a sheet pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it marinade.

Cooking the chicken:

Start the coals about 20 minutes before ready to cook the chicken and make sure to pre-heat the grill first.
Brush the grill grate with some oil to grease it and place chicken on the grill. Close the lid and cook for about 5-6 minutes. Open the lid and use metal tongues to flip the chicken. Close the lid and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Exact time for cooking the chicken will depend on the size of the thighs so use a meat thermometer to take internal temperature. Chicken is cooked when the thermometer reads 165° in the thickest part of the meat.
