PREPARATION

• 1

  In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

• 2

  Place the chicken thighs in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated on all sides.

• 3

  Allow the chicken to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  Preheat a grill or a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.

• 5

  Grill the chicken thighs for approximately 5-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the exterior has a nice char.

• 6

  While the chicken rests, warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat until heated through.

• 7

  Serve the grilled chicken over the black beans and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
