Description
Citrus-marinated grilled chicken, a classic Latin American dish with a smoky, juicy finish.
Ingredients
2 lbs chicken thighs or drumsticks
½ cup orange juice
¼ cup lime juice
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp oregano
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Let it sit for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry.
Grill on a preheated grill for 6-8 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
