Ingredients:

Serving

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken pieces (thighs and breasts)
1/3 cup frozen concentrated orange juice, thawed
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tsp grated lime zest
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp cumin
1 tsp minced garlic

Directions:

Place all the marinade ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend to liquify.
Pour marinade into a plastic Ziplock baggie.
Place the chicken in the baggie with the marinade; squish around to coat the pieces.
Refrigerate chicken in the marinade for AT LEAST 8 hours, but no more than 24 hours. Turn the baggie every few hours.
When ready to grill: preheat grill to medium heat.
Place chicken on grill (discard the marinade) and grill over direct heat for about 8-9 minutes on each side or until juices run clear.
