Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, orange juice, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
2. Place the thinly sliced chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it's well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
