– 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 tablespoon cumin
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– 1 tablespoon onion powder

– 2 tablespoons vinegar (preferably red wine vinegar)
– Juice of 1 lime
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken is straightforward. Follow these steps to delight your taste buds:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix the vegetable oil, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, oregano, vinegar, and lime juice to create a marinade.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken pieces in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Grill: Before you grill, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F/200°C).
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and let the excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken on the grill, skin-side down.
5. Cook Thoroughly: Grill the chicken for about 15-20 minutes on the first side. Flip the chicken and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes. This step keeps the chicken juicy.
7. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh cilantro on top before serving for added flavor and color.

Following these steps will result in marvelous Peruvian-Style Grilled Chicken that impresses every time.
