- 3 cloves Garlic Cloves minced
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Ground Cumin

- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken. In a bowl, combine garlic, lime juice, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

- Grill the Chicken. Preheat the grill or oven to medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs until they are cooked through and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Serve. Serve the grilled or roasted chicken thighs with a generous dollop of Aji Verde sauce on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges if desired.
