Rinse chicken thighs, remove bones, leaving the skin on; pat dry with paper towels; set aside.
In a big bowl, whisk all marinade ingredients together, making sure the marinade is well combined.
Add chicken to the marinade, being sure to stir and coat chicken evenly. Marinate for 2 hours.
Preheat the grill and brush a little oil on the surface.
Add a little garlic, cilantro, and jalapeño from the marinade on top of the chicken; grill chicken until they turn golden brown and are charred on both sides.

Alternative:
This chili lime chicken can also be made with a cast-iron grill pan or a regular skillet, or baked in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the skin becomes brown and charred. Skinless and boneless chicken thighs or breasts can also be used.
