Pour 1 tablespoon of the oil over the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Add the seasonings and work the chicken until the seasoning is evenly coated.

Squeeze lime juice over the top and then place the chicken in a container, or zip top bag and allow the chicken thighs to marinate for 20 minutes, or up to 8 hours.

Once ready to cook, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, olace the chicken thighs in a single layer in the pan. Let the chicken cook 4-6 minutes without turning, then flip the chicken thighs, reduce the heat to low, and cover the pan and cook on the other side for an additional 4-6 minutes.

The chicken is done when it reached 165˚F internal temperature. Remove the chicken from the heat, let it rest for 5 minutes. Then toss with the cilantro and serve.
