Place chicken on a platter, and transfer to fridge to marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8. Take chicken out of the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.

To grill, place thighs skin side down on the 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) grill for 6 minutes. Turn chicken, and continue cooking for approximately 12 minutes. For roasting, set a rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Place chicken on rack in the oven at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Roast 25-30 minutes, until skin is crispy and browned and flesh is cooked through, but still juicy.

Tent the chicken and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to redistribute the juices in the meat. Serve.
