Combine chicken thighs and cilantro mixture in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours to overnight, turning occasionally.
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
Drain chicken thighs and discard marinade. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
