# Detailed Cooking Steps:

Pat dry the chicken thighs with paper towels after rinsing and deboning but keep the skin on. Put them aside.

Whisk the olive oil, honey, chili powder, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and salt in a big bowl until smooth.
03 -
Coat the chicken evenly in the marinade. Cover it up and pop it in the fridge for 2 hours to soak in all the flavors.

Heat the grill and brush the grates lightly with oil. Lay the chicken on and spoon extra bits like garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro on top while grilling. Turn and grill about 10 minutes a side until nicely browned and a bit charred. Eat right away.
# Helpful Hints:

Leaving the chicken in the marinade longer gives a stronger taste. Change up the chili powder and jalapeños if you want more or less heat.
