Grill the Best Pollo Asado

Pollo Asado


  • Total Time: 2 hours 16 minutes

Description

Citrus-marinated grilled chicken, a classic Latin American dish with a smoky, juicy finish.


Ingredients

Scale

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.
