Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, mustard, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
Trim fat from the chicken as necessary. Add the chicken thighs to a large zip-top bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat for a few seconds to make sure the meat is coated.
Refrigerate the chicken in the marinade for at least 30 min. For best flavor, allow the meat to marinate for 2-12 hours before grilling. After marinating, allow the chicken to sit, covered in the bag of marinade for 15-20 minutes while the grill preheats.
Preheat the grill to settings for medium-high heat on one side, or if using charcoal, arrange pieces into a two-zone fire with briquettes underneath half of the grill grate.
Sear chicken thighs over lit side of grill 2-3 minutes per side until skin turns golden brown, taking care not to char.
Move chicken pieces to unlit side of grill and cook, covered, until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let chicken rest 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
NOTE: This chicken is best when marinated for at least 2 hours minimum before grilling!
