The ingredients needed to make Grilled Chipotle Adobo Chicken:

1. Make ready 3 tablespoons olive oil
2. Prepare 2 ounce lime juice- fresh squezzed is best
3. Take 2 large garlic cloves, finley chopped
4. Get 2 teaspoons kosher salt

7. Prepare 1 tablespoon cumin
8. Prepare 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
9. Make ready 4 teaspoons sugar
10. Prepare 3 Tablespoon chipotle in adobo -pureed (I do a 7 ounce can in the food processor)
11. Get 6-10 pieces boneless chicken thighs (you can use breast however thighs stay juicer:)

You can increase the heat to your liking with your favorite hot sauce. Habanero hot sauce works best, as very little is needed to increase the heat without changing the flavor of the marinade.

Steps to make Grilled Chipotle Adobo Chicken:

1. Note if you double the marinade recipe you can use use half to marinate with and the other half to brush on the chicken as you grill.
2. Mix together the marinade ingredients. If you like it spicier add a little more of the chipotle in adobo puree.
3. Trim off excess fat from the chicken thighs-you do not need to get ride of all fat:)
4. Place the chicken and the marinade in a gallon zip-lock bag and marinate for 6 hours to overnight. More time gives better flavor.
5. I like to grill over charcoal (best) or gas until it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degree F. That being said if you only have an oven this can be baked at 350 degree F.until it reaches the appropriate temperature of 170 degree F.
6. Let sit for 10 minutes after cooking and thinly slice. You may want to squeeze a little lime and adjust salt to your taste.

Remove chicken from marinade and place on preheated grill. Now add the honey to RESERVED marinade and baste chicken. Immediately flip chicken and baste the unbasted side.
