Preheat a grill to medium-high heat or the oven broiler.

Combine the garlic, onion, oregano, cumin, cayenne, cloves, salt, pepper, and oil in a blender and puree until smooth. Add the orange juice and lime juice and process for 30 seconds.

Spread the spicy puree over all sides of the chicken thighs. Place the chicken on the grill (or on a broiler pan 4 inches from the broiler heat source) and cook for 6-10 minutes per side or until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
