Strain the annato oil into a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Add the carrot juice, vinegar, bay leaves, thyme, garlic and chiles.
Add the chicken and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Preheat a grill pan. Grill the chicken in the grill pan over moderate heat for 4 minutes, turning once.
Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and cook for 30 minutes, or until the juices run clear.
