How To
Gather all the ingredients needed, make sure your pan is ready. Clean and cut the ingredients needed. Slice the chili into thin rings, remove the zest of half a lemon.
Place the zest, chili, chopped onion and garlic in a marinade bowl. Add all the dry spices, salt, olive oil, orange juice and 2 tbsp lemon juice. Stir the marinade.
Place the chicken, stir and leave for 4 hours at room temperature or for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
You will need skinless chicken thighs. You can remove the bone or leave them with the bone. Use orange and lemon juice for the base of the marinade. The marinade will make the meat soft and add flavor and juiciness.
Heat a grill pan and place the marinated thighs on it and grill for about 6 minutes and turn the chicken over and continue cooking in the same way. Check the temperature inside the meat – it should be 175°F. If the temperature is lower, cover the pieces with foil and reduce the heat.
The chicken pieces are marinated in a marinade with different flavors and grilled to mouthwatering strips.
Place the grilled chicken on a serving plate.
Finish serving with chili, tomatoes, lemon slices and cilantro or add other optional sauces and boiled rice can be served in addition with salads or vegetables.

We added fresh chili and dried chipotle for spiciness. You can increase the amount of spicy ingredients as desired.
An identical recipe prefers the use of achiote pasta. This paste is not always available and you could substitute it for regular paprika with oregano, cumin, cloves, and black pepper.
