Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

For Serving
- fresh pita bread

Instructions
- Place chicken and all marinade ingredients in a large zip-close bag. Marinate for 4 to 6 hours, turning a couple of times to evenly coat the chicken. Grill until centers are no longer pink (about 10 minutes per side over medium heat).
