- Prepare the Marinade
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until every piece is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for deeper flavor.
- Grill the Chicken
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6–7 minutes per side, turning once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the outside develops light char marks.
- Rest and Serve
Transfer the chicken to a clean plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over the top.
