Marinade:
Lemon & Lime Juice, Salt, Pepper, Honey, Oregano, Cumin, New Mexico Chili Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, Olive Oil

Sadly I'z out of cilantro so the only hint of it is in the guac cause I have some Pico I made Friday left over and folded that in with the other spices I use.

Chicken Thighs started in the marinade before bed last night.

Onion, Red Bell Pepper, Poblano Pepper, diced Serrano Peppers started marinading just now, and Guac was also made just now.

I usually give both 2-3 hours in the fridge for both for flavors to meld before cooking

Thighs will go on Weber Kettle over Kingsford Blue to grill with a few Applewood chips (I'm out of Mesquite).



The Thighs Hot Off the Grill



The Noms (there were GREAT if I say so myself )

1. your pit in the guac reminded me that I wanted to look that up because I was suspicious

been having a friendly back and forth about the practice and where it might have started with a friend. still don't know how it got started, but it doesn't really work. here is an article - https://www.livescience.com/33660-guacamole-avocado-pit-prevent-brown.html

bottom line, put lime juice on it and/or plastic wrap. the pit only "protects" what it covers.

2. Already knew, it's just for looks for the pic ...

It's covered with plastic wrap across the surface (w/o the pit) in the fridge as we speak

5. Chicken has about 10 more mins on the grill, then time to rock 'em ...

You comin' by?
