  1. Make the marinade by whisking together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, sea salt, and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, in a zip-lock bag.
  2. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, seal the bag, and shake to combine evenly. Refrigerate for 3-12 hours.
  3. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 20 minutes before cooking.
  4. Heat a grill pan coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat.
  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel. Season each chicken thigh with a bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, on both sides.
  6. Cook the chicken by placing the thighs on the hot grill pan, cook for 4 minutes then flip over.
  7. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Remove from the grill pan and let the meat rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy.
