Servings: persons

4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 medium onion, quartered
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
Pinch of ground cloves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut or other oil
2 tablespoons orange juice, preferably fresh
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
About 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs or 2 pounds bone-in
Minced fresh cilantro for garnish

1
Preheat a grill or broiler to moderately hot and put the rack at least 4 inches from the heat source.
2
Combine the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, cayenne, cloves, salt, pepper, and oil in a blender or small food processor and blend until fairly smooth.
3
Add the juices, then taste and adjust the seasoning; the blend should be powerful.
4
Smear this mixture all over the chicken; if time allows, marinate the chicken for 30 minutes or so.
5
Grill or broil for 6 to 8 minutes per side, watching carefully, until the meat is nicely browned on the outside and cooked through on the inside (bone-in thighs will take longer, about 20 minutes total).
6
Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with the cilantro.
