For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. This will allow the cilantro-lime mixture to fully penetrate the meat. To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, avoiding the bone. If you don't have an outdoor grill, you can cook the chicken in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until cooked through.
