Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, stir together the marinade ingredients.
Place chicken in a gallon size zip-lock bag or airtight container. Pour marinade over the chicken. Seal; turn the bag or container to coat the pieces evenly. Place in the refrigerator for 12-36 hours, or a minimum of 24 hours for the best flavor.
When ready to cook, remove chicken from the refrigerator to rest on the counter for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. For boneless skinless chicken thighs, cook 6 minutes per side, then increase the heat to medium-high; cook 4 more minutes, or as needed.
To make a freezer meal: Combine the marinade and chicken in a gallon size zip-lock bag and freeze. When ready to cook the chicken, thaw in the refrigerator, allowing the marinade to work the flavors through the meat. When thawed, cook as instructed above.
