Mix the lime juice, grape vinegar, crushed garlic, ginger, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and rest in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Color the annatto seeds in vegetable oil over low heat for 4 minutes, then strain.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat the surface dry.
Cook one side of the chicken in a grill pan for 10 minutes, brushing with annatto oil.
Turn the chicken and cook for 10 to 12 more minutes.
Mix the soy sauce with a little lime juice.
Serve chicken inasal with rice pilaf and the soy sauce dip.
💡 Tip: Prepare annatto oil over low heat; if the seeds burn, an unpleasant bitter smell passes to the chicken.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chicken inasal with garlic rice, soy-lime dip, and optional cucumber.
