Method
- Combine the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the chicken thighs. Turn the chicken pieces over and sprinkle the remaining spices over them. Rub the spices into the chicken to coat well.
- Grill Pan Directions: Heat a nonstick grill pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil. Place half of the seasoned chicken in the grill pan, ensuring there is space between the pieces. Cook for 5 minutes without moving them. Flip the chicken pieces and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Broiling Directions: Preheat your oven to broil. Place an oven rack 6 inches from the top of the oven. Place a wire rack over a large baking tray and arrange the chicken on the wire rack. Place the chicken in the oven and broil for 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the oven, turn each piece over, and broil for another 5 to 6 minutes.
- Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Notes
You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs. Adjust the cooking time as chicken breasts cook faster than thighs, depending on their thickness.
