Follow these steps to create Chimichurri Chicken Thighs that will tantalize your taste buds:

1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce:
– In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cilantro, lime juice, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
– Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken:
– Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
– Pour the chimichurri sauce over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated.
– Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least one hour. For optimal flavor, marinate overnight.

3. Preheat the Oven/Grill:
– If using an oven: Preheat it to 400°F (200°C).
– If grilling: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chicken:
– For oven cooking: Transfer the marinated chicken to a baking dish and pour some of the chimichurri sauce over the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to achieve a crispy skin if desired.
– For grilling: Remove excess marinade and place chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 7-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

5. Serve and Enjoy:
– Remove chicken from the oven or grill. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
– Drizzle with any remaining chimichurri sauce to enhance flavor.
