Ingredients

0.5 cup olive oil
0.5 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 teaspoons dried tarragon
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs

Instructions

Combine olive oil, lime juice, onion, tarragon, 1 teaspoon of salt, and hot sauce in a large, resealable plastic bag; shake well. Add chicken thighs, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Remove excess air and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours for best flavor.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat. Ensure the grill grate is lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
Take the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Discard the used marinade properly. Season the chicken generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Grill the chicken on the preheated grill until it is cooked through and no longer pink inside, approximately 30 minutes. Chicken thighs remain juicy, so feel free to cook slightly longer if needed for doneness.
