By PKMom

Ingredients

• 8 chicken thighs
• 2 lemons
• 1 cup ( 250 mL) orange juice
• 2 tbsp ( 30 mL) olive oil
• 1 tbsp ( 15 mL) dried basil

• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3/4 tsp ( 3 mL) salt

Preparation

Step 1

Place thighs, skin-side down, on a cutting board. Cut meat away from bone. Remove and discard skin, then flatten chicken slightly with your hand. Trim off any fat.
Squeeze 1/2 cup (125 mL) juice from lemons. Stir with orange juice, oil, basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Place thighs in a glass dish. Add marinade and cover dish. Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight. Turn once during marinating.
Preheat barbecue and lightly oil grill. Drain marinade and reserve. Grill thighs until golden, from 8 to 10 minutes per side. Brush often with marinade, except for last 5 minutes of grilling.
